I'll be happy to see another 1,000 plus foot building here.

But how do they get permission for buildings like this and One57 so easily. When the TWC was being built they were really limited in height due to the issue of shadows being cast on Central Park. How is that seemingly not an issue for these buildings? I would think the Community Board for this area would be up in arms.

[RobertWalpole]

If, like Carnegie 57, a tower is built with the air rights it possesses as of right, there's really nothing that opponents can do. With Torre Verre, by contrast, the air rights that the developer assembled included transfers from non-contiguous properties and therefore, required city approval.

[600West218]

No, meeting the air rights criteria is a minimum requirement. You still have to be approved by the local community board and probably by the city planning commission. Those latter two things are what forced the TWC not be be as tall as was originally planned and have stalled many other projects such as Atlantic Yards in Brooklyn.

But I have not heard of any public outcry on this (which is what would force the community boards hand) so I guess people are ok with it. Fine with me, the more skyscrapers the better :-)

The community board's decision isn't binding.

TWC was the first skyscraper built in the city after 9/11. People were afraid of tall buildings but that isn't the case anymore. And the whole casting shadow on central park makes no sense. Because the trees already do that.

More demo permits were filed for 221 and 225 W57th on 14 July 2011.

http://a810-bisweb.nyc.gov/bisweb/Jo...ssdocnumber=01

I predict this tower to be around 350m tall.

I predict this tower to be around 350m tall.

Seriously, isn't that just a little weeny tiny bit of a bold claim?! 350??! How? Why? When? Do you have a-n-y clues as to why you're making such an optimistic prediction?

(don't get me wrong: I'd love it if you were right, but I WILL hate you if you get my hopes way too high only to be heartbroken! )

[RobertWalpole]

This is a very accurate prediction. This tower is being developed by the same developer of One 57 (i.e., Extell). It has about 30% more air rights than One 57, and therefore, should be around 30% taller than that tower. 350m is a conservative estimate since One 57 will be around 305m tall.

[kingsc]

Well see. And I'm sure we won't see the design, till the last minute.

So true, C57 was a perfect example.

350m would be great. I need to update my NYC construction list, it's been a while.

[600West218]

I seriously doubt 350 meters will be allowed. I would love it but I would think the Central Park lovers will put up a big fight about it casting too big of a shadow over the park.

When by the site on Sunday. Demolition is moving along.

When will that stupid grocery store have to move?

[600West218]

Hey Dino, just noticed those pictures of mine are in the wrong thread. Those pictures show the new High School on EAST 57th Street, not the demolition at this site.

But given that both are entirely black netting they do look similar :-)

I believe that their total air rights allow a structure of around 350m as of right, and therefore, city approvals are not required (like Carnegie 57 and unlike Torre Verre).

[600West218]

Community boards always have a say and if they make a big fight the project could be held up or changed. But hopefully that won't happen. I would never have guessed that Carnegie 57 could go through and obviously it did.

Community Boards have no power. Their comments are advisory. Only the LPC can force a major change, and they're not involved when a project is as of right.
