NEW YORK | 262 Fifth Ave | 860 FT | FLOORS

[mrnyc]

from those new angles it looks (looked?) like a skinny, modern maritime/downtown dream hotel.

Is this cancelled?

^ This has slowly been moving, with some design change (not sure how much), but the floors are the same. Haven't been by the site in a while.

Too many people get hung up on the diagrams. Follow the facts (which hopefully are in the threads) for what’s going on.

They’re from the archives of 1947.

I was there a few weeks back... no signs of a supertall about to ascend.

1000+ FT in NoMad.. WOW!! The Madison House dominates the area now, this one will be approx 200 ft taller!

Hoping for a few good tweaks to the architectural plans to make it more appealing.

[streetscaper]

Was hoping this was dead!! But alas...


the design change gives me a bit of hope, I hope its more than tweaks

[JMKeynes]

I hoped that Boris Kuzinev was no longer involved with this project and that his insane, Tel Aviv-style proposal was dead. Sadly, however, that’s not the case.

That crazy metal facade will be an extreme eyesore.

[NYguy]

Maybe they’ll go with glass, who knows what changes have been made. So far, no new renderings have surfaced, but follow the latest filings.

It’s interesting that this tower and 520 5th, towers of similar height on 5th Ave, have been revived at the same time. Stalled projects are beginning to move again, another sign that things are returning to normal.

Bad link

I like the design with the portholes in the shear wall

looks like we'll get to watch two fifth avenue supertalls rise this decade.

Oh boy, look at that.

Glad to see that corner see some activity. I was there a few months ago and dead as hell. What an exciting time.

So, they weren’t messing around. Good to see.

I hope the design stays essentially the same. It has a Lincoln Center vibe. Classy late-modern/late 60's early 70's.
