Awesome render! I can't wait for this baby to rise!

yankeesfan1000 · October 23rd, 2011, 02:25 AM

Love this building too. Can't wait to see this start rising next year.

Hendycfc · October 23rd, 2011, 03:26 AM

Awesome building... Really deserves to be a supertall because its so nice!

Philly Bud · October 29th, 2011, 01:12 AM

It's striking and it's sleekly modern. I like it!

It soars!

LCIII · October 29th, 2011, 07:33 PM

I wish there was something more interesting going on with the top but I still love it regardless.

Cuernavacacity · November 8th, 2011, 09:36 PM

Is there some reason I cant see the pics? shit

Bruce.Tenmile · November 8th, 2011, 11:02 PM

I'm confused. I was sure this was under construction, and surely those photos..which.....show......it........under..........construction............prove.................that?

RobertWalpole · November 8th, 2011, 11:06 PM

Phase 1 which is the school and retail is u/c. When the school opens next academic year, the existing secondary school will be demolished and the tower will rise on that site.

Whole Foods moves into 250 East 57th Street
December 05, 2011 04:00PM

From left: interior of Whole Foods at 250 East 57th Street and exterior
Construction for the Whole Foods market at at the massive $700 million, 1 million-square-foot mixed-use project rising at 250 East 57th Street is complete, according to a statement from the World-Wide Group. The organic grocer has moved into their 39,000-square-foot space on the ground floor and begun building it out.

The site was a hole in the ground just two months ago.

The public-private partnership mixed-use project by World-Wide Group and the Educational Construction Fund will include two new schools, a 59-story residential tower with rental and condominium units, and 78,000 square feet of retail in addition to the organic grocer, which will have entrances on both 56th and 57th streets.

Whole Foods and the schools are slated to open in fall 2012.

The mixed-use project will include two new schools, a 59-story residential tower with rental and condo units, and 78,000 square feet of retail in addition to Whole Foods.

Neighbors worry that too many mega-developments are underway on the same block, as a water main is being constructed by the city in the same time frame.

When the two schools, PS 59 and the High School of Art and Design, are completed, the second phase of construction will begin on the residential and retail portions of the development. A school at 250 East 63rd Street was built to house the students of PS 59 while the new school is constructed. The residential and additional retail portions of the development are set to open in 2014. -- Guelda Voien

Went by today. It is one ugly ass school. But at least it is progressing rapidly:

Oh the children, can somebody think of the children.

Yuck.

***JohnFlint1985*** · December 12th, 2011, 06:00 PM

I am confused ... they are tearing down the school?

They're building a new school. Once the school year is finished, the building on the left in the second to last photo will be demolished, which is where the school is currently located and will be moved into the building that's under construction in the photos. After the school finishes its move into the new building, the old school will be demolished and the tower will be built there, again where the current school is located.

Does that make sense?

Yes thank you

Build this origami already! This will definitely break the monotony of the NYC skyline ( unless Hearst is considered on the same league as this.)

Are we talking about the same city here? I'll tell you what monotony is: thousands and thousands of ugly concrete highrises which all look the same: fugly as hell.

***desertpunk*** · December 13th, 2011, 12:56 PM

It's as if Karl Fischer found some Lego blocks...

The design looks like a riff on the crappy midcentury next door. Together they form a seamless streetwall of hideous mediocrity. ( ideal for a school!

)

Justinos · July 5th, 2012, 12:45 PM

How this beautiful building going on? Has this started to rise?

Eric Offereins · July 5th, 2012, 12:52 PM

Why this unnecessary bump?
