We have watched NYC grow so much these past 10 or so years.

It's incredible.

And it's just beginning. NYC and America absolutely ooze with money and will for a long time.

very nice, but what’s with the odd glowing globe at the top?

are they sneaking in the eye of sauron?

or is it an ode to the radium they used to use in watches?

Rolex says time’s up for its Fifth Avenue headquarters





BY KEITH LARSEN
AUG 12, 2021


Quote:
Rolex’s watches are timeless, but its New York headquarters is not.

The luxury watch company filed an application with the New York’s Department of Buildings to begin demolishing its 1970s-era, 12-story headquarters at 665 Fifth Avenue. The Swiss company is partnering with architect David Chipperfield to build a 25-story office tower in its place.
Quote:
Chipperfield was selected to design the Midtown building in 2019. Renderings from March 2020 depict a modern-looking, 155,800-square-foot office building that resembles five glass boxes stacked on top of each other. It will house Rolex’s offices as well as a ground-level retail store.

Rolex recently opened a store at 29-35 9th Avenue in the Meatpacking District.

Rolex has yet to release a construction timeline for its new headquarters. Its current one remains open. The company did not return a request to comment.

This will be a very pleasing addition to Fifth Avenue.

I agree.

I really hope that Extell builds an iconic blockbuster on its 46th St site. I can envision anything from a supertall icon to a fat, 500' dud. Hopefully, Gary delivers.

I thought it was a supertall building that was designed by Zaha Hadid…

The approvals and permit activity has really ramped up. Seems like the last two months have been nothing but reveals, approvals and general good news.

^ A lot of approvals went in so they could be started or approved before the new administration and council coming next year.

Wow, the revised design is even better. Taller and slimmer, with a somewhat more elegant crown.

The most recent filing was on Nov 4, 2021. Hopefully, this PoS will come down soon.
