Re. the elevators, they're planning 98 units and there will no doubt be many unit combos during sales process. So probably 80-90 units tops, almost all owned by people with multiple homes. You might have half the units occupied at any one time, so I doubt the elevators would be problematic.

Correct. A hotel tower this is not.

Yeah, I'm pretty surprised they haven't released more street level renderings. This building is already financed, and there were some minor issues to clear up with the DOB, although there may still be a partial work-stop order on site. But this far along, there should be some type of marketing for both residential and office components.

That Fifth Avenue space should be a real draw. That restaurant/club space should be nice as well.

Very happy to see the crane on site. This will be only the second supertall skyscraper to rise on 5th Avenue, after the Empire State itself. And it will be a nice design, something to look forward to.

That particular portion of mockup could be the north most side of the 5th Ave facade or the south facing corner at 43rd and 5th. What we see is only a 3rd of the full width of the window and only about half or so of the height, so they will be quite massive!

Thanks for clarifying where on the building each sample section corresponds to! I hope to see renderings of the entrance soon, as well as more close-ups in general as they market the apartments and the retail spaces.

Picked up speed. Under the radar super tall.

Crawford · #**477** Posted **Apr 2, 2023, 10:37 PM**

Imagine this tower at 1,400 ft. Would be epic.

Even at 1,000 ft., it will still be pretty impressive.

i see its off the ground above the fencing now — very good news.

1,400 ft is a good height, but for this particular area we need more varying heights. I think the design and height is perfect for the ensamble (though an extra hundred or two ft wouldn’t hurt). What we really need are more 1,600 ft+ towers. It’s becoming clear that a megatall is becoming neccessary to restore balance, like Godzilla, on the skyline.

My family owns a rebar fabrication shop so I love watching these buildings go up. Thanks for such great pictures.
