Don't forget 250 E 57th and 220 CPS, both of which will be over 200m.

They have a design that isn't available to the public yet but who knows how much it will change before the building is completed

The basic design was submitted to the NYC DOB with the NB permit application. It is not available on-line yet.

Hell no! I don't like the Sears tower. And they better never try to build anything like it in NYC.

Dale · December 12th, 2012, 01:53 AM

I doubt that this would be anywhere near as massive as to resemble Willis Tower.

It will be a lot taller. Willis is a dated 70s boxy structure.

Yet no skyscraper managed to truly pass it until, what, 2004?

L.A.F.2. · December 12th, 2012, 02:39 AM

And that's still debatable considering a pinnacle height 60 feet higher than Taipei 101 as well as over twice as much square footage of space.

See I disagree with you, I love the Sear's tower,, I like it actually better than anything in the U.S. other than 1WTC,, It's just so well MASSIVE

This has probably been asked a million times already (too lazy to sift through 24 pages)....what is this tower supposed to look like?

Dale · December 12th, 2012, 03:53 AM

I'm too lazy as well. I think it's supposed to look like a giant guitar.

Well I doubt I'm the best person to answer this question, but I do know there have not been any rendering released yet. There was a rendering, but it was rejected. There were also some other things said about how it won't have a spire or anything like that on top. And it will be thin but, sturdy or something like that.

Eric Offereins · December 12th, 2012, 10:02 PM

That is just how people here want it to be.

Bet we'll know soon enough what it will look like.

ZZ-II · December 12th, 2012, 10:28 PM

It's just crazy that this tower would have been the worlds tallest if build 10 years ago

usafarid · December 15th, 2012, 11:16 AM

the impact of this tower in the skyline will amazing !!!

They haven't even emptied the supermarket yet!!

And the excavators are just sitting there - not digging at all.

Makes me wonder if they have everything lined up, like financing. If they did then why are they proceeding so slowly?
