Send them to me. I’ll host them.

Do the four setbacks on each side occur at the same points on the facade?

JMKeynes · #**1063** Posted **Jun 7, 2019, 11:05 PM**

Does it look like this?

Notice the columns gradually fan out...

Good. Maybe a rendering will leak out.

I wonder if "definite peak" means a well-designed crown of some kind or just the fact that it tapers/has setbacks

I wanna see this model of the tower, if it exists

Some understanding of demo phasing from a potential planning session document, a little more than a year ago...

NYguy · #**1070** Posted **Jun 18, 2019, 8:28 PM**

Also from the early planning session, when the tower was said to be about 1,200 ft (or 1,250 ft here). The massing is very similar to what Chase ultimately ended up with, and another alternative massing rendered.

JMKeynes · #**1071** Posted **Jun 18, 2019, 8:40 PM**

Is that the design? If so, I say

Thanks

1250ft is that a maximum height ??we come from 1403ft to 1250ft so sad and disappointed.

No it looks like they've bumped it up since, as these were early massings. I'm wondering if that rendering above is from Foster

It's outdated, and neither are the final height. Just to the bulkhead.

SMH. I clearly said it was an earlier plan. This building started as an approximately 1,200 ft tower, not 1,400 ft plus. Only when actual plans were presented did we get the taller tower.
