I've compiled a list over on NYY so I'll just copy paste it here.
Okay I've got 20 built or U/C so far. Please tell me if you see anything off or if I missed a building. I will start working on the proposed list/ prepared site / approved etc.
If all proposed/etc on list list got completed that would be 37 supertalls in NYC. And I'm pretty sure I'm still missing stuff off this list, as well as stuff that hasn't been announced yet or is still in the planning stages. Edit: I did not include any of the Hudson Yards Phase 2 tower, Penn Station towers (besides Penn 15) PABT towers and other as no heights have been released (or any proposals for that matter)

In total after proposals are added:
1,700 ft + = 1
1,600 ft + = 1
1,500 ft + = 3
1,400 ft + = 5
1,300 ft + = 3 (if the twins were still here this would be 5)
1,200 ft + = 3
1,100 ft + = 3
1,000 ft + = 15
984 ft + = 3

Edits after looking at Emporis.

They won't really be in order for height ( maybe )
1. 1WTC - 1776 ft. 541 M (the only 500 M tower in the city, at least until Affirmation gets built. Had CPT got its spire or 175 not had its height reduced both would have been above 500M)
2. CPT - 1,550 ft. 472 M
3. Empire State Building - 1,454 ft. 443 M (Was at #7 without the antenna on the wiki list and CTBUH, but 1 WTC has its height included with the antenna so I chose the taller height)
4. 111 West 57th St. - 1,428 ft. 435 M
5. One Vanderbilt - 1,401 ft. 427 M
6. 432 Park Avenue - 1,397 ft. 426 M
7. 270 Park Avenue - 1,388 ft. 423 M
8. 30 Hudson Yards - 1,270 ft. 387 M
9. Bank of America Tower - 1,200 ft. 366 M
10. 3 World Trade Center - 1,079 ft. 329 M
11. The Brooklyn Tower - 1,073 ft. 327 M
12. 57W57 - 1,050 ft. 320 M
13. The Chrysler Building - 1,046 ft. 319 M
14. The New York Times Building - 1,046 ft. 319 M
15. 66 Hudson Boulevard - 1,041 ft. 317 M
16. The Spiral - 1,041 ft. 317 M
17. 50 Hudson Yards - 1,011 ft. 308 M
18. 35 Hudson Yards - 1,009 ft. 308 M
19. One57 - 1,004 ft. 306 M
20. One Manhattan West - 996 ft. 304 M

Proposed/Site Prepared/Approved
1,600 ft + = 1 (rip 175)
1,500 ft + = 2
1,400 ft + = 2
1,300 ft + = 1
1,200 ft + = 1
1,100 ft + = 3
1,000 ft + = 5
984 ft + = 2
1. Affirmation Tower - 1,663 ft. 506 M
2. 175 Park Avenue - 1,575 ft. 480 M
3. Tower Fifth - 1,556 ft. 474 M
4. 350 Park Avenue - 1,450 ft. 441 M
5. 80 South Street - 1,436 ft. 437 M
6. 2WTC - 1,348 ft. 410 M
7. Penn 15 - 1,270 ft. 387 M ( May be old height? Haven't seen anything new in a while )
8. 45 Broad St. - 1,127 ft. 344 M (only slightly smaller than John Hancock)
9. 570 Fifth Avenue - 1,101 ft. 335 M
10. 41 West 57 Street. - 1,100 ft. 335 M
11. 740-750 8th Avenue - 1,067 ft. 325 M
12. 341 - 347 Madison Avenue - 1,050 ft. 320 M
13. 262 Fifth Ave - 1,011 ft. 308 M
14. 247 Cherry St. - 1008 ft. 307 M
15. 143 - 155 East 60th Street - 1000 ft. + Around 305 M (looks like it might be a stale proposal)
16. 520 Fifth Avenue - 995 ft. 303 M
17. 3 Hudson Boulevard - 987 ft. 300 M (barely made it)

*If Macy's tower is 900 feet on top of the already existing building it would be 1,071 ft, putting it at 11 in the proposed section. However I can not confirm it's height or if it's 800 ft, or what.

Had 175 Park not been arbitrarily butchered, it would be 2 - 500 M / 1,600fters going up.

The Penn district promises to add a lot of bulk over time. That and Midtown East will be the areas to watch along with all of the spill over proxy developments feeding off of it (Midtown West; Hudson Yards area, ect).

Good catch with Macys. I'm hoping that turns out to be altering. Movement on the LES too. A new mini skyline to rise in time (LES).

Indeed. I will try to update it when we get more info on the heights if the Penn Station Towers. Hopefully they aren't tiny, frankly they should be as big as the new Midtown East towers coming out. Or bigger.
Speaking of Midtown East is just getting started and I'll keep up with that as well.

”What If Buildings Could Feel?” Rombo’s New York Titans Bring an Alternate City to Life

by Sarah Beling


Quote:
New York is a city with real character, mythologized in countless novels, plays, movies, and songs. But while most characterizations focus on the city as a whole, one artist has imagined a world where New York’s most recognizable buildings are players in an urban drama.

Brooklyn-based artist Diego “Rombo” Salazar’s New York Titans series takes structures like the Empire State Building, Freedom Tower, Chrysler Building, the Supertall Billionaire’s Row Towers and Hudson Yards and casts them as fellow New Yorkers who meet, date, mate, fight, and dine with the rest of us.
Quote:
Rombo, a graduate of the prestigious Cooper Union was inspired by his training as an architect to think about buildings beyond their basic structural design. “I started having these ideas in 2016, right after I graduated from architecture school in New York,” said Rombo. “I had this whole concept about architecture being a sort of mask that we wear on our heads. And I began to imagine it quite literally, imagining the buildings of New York as characters and wondering if they would like each other, would they be lovers, enemies — clearly they wouldn’t all like each other — it just sounded really fun.”
Quote:
Two of the city’s newest “characters” are the Billionaire’s Row Supertall towers on W57th Street, which immediately caught Rombo’s eye and inspired his piece Supertall Supermodels. “They changed the skyline so dramatically, so when I was thinking of characters for these super tall buildings, I couldn’t help but think that they were a bit superficial — they’re so elegant and expensive and tall and skinny. I thought that these characters would match the energy of some supermodels and the superficiality of that industry. I decided to do a piece where they’re having a fun evening of dancing and drinking while the rest of the city is way below them,” he said.

Hudson Yards is also prominently featured in the artist’s piece, A New Vatican. “New York is the new Rome of the modern age,” said Rombo. “It is the new capital of the world, with the most global influence. The Hudson Yards development on the west side of Manhattan is one of the most lucrative projects ever built. With a price tag of $25 billion, it is definitely the most expensive in US history.” In New Vatican, Rombo seeks to explore the correlation between the West Side’s gilded, glossy towers with the Vatican in Rome, which in its time, was also one of the most expensive projects ever. “This piece is an encounter between four of the first towers of Hudson Yards visiting the Vatican and placing Thomas Heatherwick’s Vessel at the center of St. Peter’s Plaza, claiming themselves as the New Vatican,” he added.










Sensored this one….

I've seen this guy's stuff over on Reddit. Funny thing is, I've been drawing personified skyscrapers for years, and writing stories about them. I need to start posting a lot more stuff around, it looks like.
I've never drawn dicks on any of mine though, although I did design a pretty naughty outfit for 787 7th Avenue

I'm surprised Steinway or Central Park Tower didn't make it into those depictions. Trippy indeed though.

It's crazy to think that, not even counting topped off towers (like Brooklyn Tower or the Spiral) that there are 4 U/C supertalls at the moment.

270 Park
520 5th
262 5th
740 8th

I wonder which tower will break ground to make it a solid five (or maybe if I can dream ten).

I really want the following to happen at least someday, I'm hoping at least half of these stand a chance:

247 Cherry
41 West 57th
45 Broad
175 Park
350 Park
Penn 15
2WTC

Don't really care for:

Tower Fifth
Affirmation Tower (although maybe the design will change)

And Penn 15 are all almost guaranteed to rise.

Once the RFP is rereleased 418 11th is expected to as well considering finance is already secured. (And let's hope it keeps the current design, with maybe a height change from 1,663 ft to 1,668 ft. Just to be taller than Taipei 101.)

And hopefully 2WTC and 350 Park (down the road).

I'm a bit skeptical on that one, aren't there also other bids for the site? I don't think it's certain that Affirmation Tower is the one.

I'm confident in that design because they already have financing secured. Of course it's still possible another design could be chosen.

Reposting as these are stellar for a supertall thread.
