I thought that there was a thread for this, but I couldn’t find it.

It's curious why they've been so reluctant to release a full height rendering. Do we even have a projected floor count?

I agree.

I don’t think that it will be more than 400’ or 500’.

There was a rendering for this tower a few months ago. Maybe on NY YIMBY or City Realty?

Believe it's a fairly tall tower, but yeah, I don't think it was taller than 400-500 ft.

Well i haven't seen one and a google image search only shows this same base rendering we've seen for the last four years.

So maybe the height between the second and last strut on the side there.

I’m glad that the beautiful crown on the old building won’t be obscured.

^The same way it works every time a new building goes up on an adjacent lot, "well shit, looks like you're outta luck." This literally has been happening for 150 years, not sure what the confusion about how this works is about.

False alarm all lot line bedrooms also boast lightwell windows. That's not gonna help the units on the lower floors however.

Isn’t part of the confusion because in some cases developers bought the air rights to adjacent buildings so this wouldn’t be a problem? Those huge blank walls are built in the cases where they didn’t, I assume.

^I think that is the case in relatively recent times. In pre-war buildings, if the lot line wall contained lot line windows, there was no guarantee those windows would not be obstructed by a new structure next door, in other words that building had no ownership of the air above the lower neighboring building. In those cases as in this case, the windows are removed and the window openings bricked in.

I agree. The transformation of Park Row has been spectacular.

It's okay. I'm not sure I understand the necessity of the setbacks. The base is definitely a step down from the previous base rendering imo.

I couldn't agree more. It's one of the few "unalloyed" good stories about NY architecture and development over the last 20 years.

So much of NYC development seems to leave the city worse off (e.g., anything happening in the Garment District ... the wiping out of entire blocks of century old buildings in Yorkville ... bland architecture replacing small-lot historic structures in nearly every corner of Midtown ... etc. etc. etc.).

Park Row is just a total win-win-win. Always happy to read updates on this block - unlike the cringe-inducing updates I see in threads about the Garment District, Midtown, etc.

Previous base rendering to compare to new:


_

First thing noticed is they have increased the base from 4 floors to 6.

While the massing of the full render looks good aside from the strange setbacks, I think I liked the detailing of the original 2017 base rendering more than the new. Dare I say the new render window treatment has a Chicago School feel to it?
