This was talked about 10 years ago, when Vornado-Related had their giant plans to redevelop MSG. They even floated moving the Macys flagship across 7th Ave, and building new towers on the existing Macys site.
I think I prefer this proposal; keeping the existing historic store and building a tower on top. They're doing the same with the Brooklyn flagship (actually that project is almost completed). |
Yeah, it's good that they could stay in the historic location. Meanwhile, looks like Brewer already had extortion plans in place for this 1.2 msf tower. A perfect example of why gov Cuomo wants to take control over the broader redevelopment of the area.

Any photos of the Brooklyn Macy's?

There's a construction thread around here somewhere. I once worked at that store long ago, on one of the upper floors. http://finance.yahoo.com/news/tishma...130000227.html http://l1.yimg.com/ny/api/res/1.2/mB...eb9430b62aa983 http://ny.curbed.com/2017/4/5/151855...-speyer-office https://cdn0.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/Aca...nd_Terrace.jpg https://cdn0.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/qAf...rom_Fulton.jpg https://www.cityrealty.com/nyc/marke...macy039s/15161 https://ds2.cityrealty.com/img/f16f4...f9a+1004++0+60 Extra construction pics https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.bro...an-speyer/amp/ |

That's the 11 Hoyt thread, but I believe the Macy's portion was moved somewhere else. |
Given that Macy's is calling the shots, any tower I'd imagine would fit in perfectly to not destroy the look of the existing property.

The Wheeler... which is rising on a parking garage used for the Macy store. I don't believe we have a thread on that. Only thread to mention that garage was the 11 Hoyt one. |
Only 800 feet? How come they decided to be so stingy with the height? The name of the game is Supertall or Bust if you want visibility on the NYC skyline!
Oh well, maybe it will look nice at least? Hopefully Designed by Foster or SHoP. |
I wonder if Macys is diversifying amidst slowing retail sales.

That's what it's all about. That 800 ft height number is likely just an estimate, and nothing will be known until the design process begins. Quote:

One thing to keep in mind though is that this tower would rise above a portion of the current store. That alone would boost the height. This would also fit in with the governor's plan to redevelop the overall area. We still haven't seen the details of that. https://www.ny1.com/nyc/manhattan/ne...herald-square- Macy's Confirms Plans to Build Skyscraper Above Flagship Store By Spectrum News Staff May. 16, 2019 Quote:
