The Rundown Thread

Exhausting.....I'm working on the renderings, I'm going to add another section called "Still in the pipeline" that will include the rest of the WTC towers, the ConEd site, Goldman Sachs, Atlantic Yards, etc. I'm also going to add the shorter towers too, I think 250 feet is a good cut off. Feel free to post info. I think this could be a great easy coherent thread for the top of the page, I hope the mods agree b/c I spent a lot of time on this.

I've run into a problem.....it won't let me post any more pics. I guess 10 is the max? I hope I didn't do all this for nothing. Can a mod help? I'll continue work tomorrow!

[krulltime]

I think you are on the right track... I agree that there should be a Run down thread sticky... But I always waited for someone like Derek to do one (He does good ones)... I cant do something like this... Is too much work for me... There is just too many projects. ;)

[Johnnyboy]

exelent work.very interesting and informative.

[BrooklynRider]

I seem to ask this every 18 months or so, but someone has an excellent database of NY Buildings: built, under construction, proposed. I thought it was NYGuy or Stern. The URL changes and it isn't clear on the website where to find it (for me anyway). I thought it was City Review or someting like that.

Also, Gulcrapek had BrooklynSky for a while. Is that gone too?

That was my website. I let my site go when my old computer with my dreamweaver program (big bucks) crashed.

[BrooklynRider]

Sorry to hear that. I ws trying to find it and kept getting errors. Oh, well, something for others to aspire to now.

[Stern]

I might re-launch my website one day, I would like to have the forums involvement though.

[I LOVE THE SOCCER]

There are also proposals like 1 NY place ( 90 floors ) , Pennsylvania Hotel ( 60 floors ), Ninth Avenue Tower ( 51 floors ) Times Square Plaza ( 47 floors ), Javit Hotel (50 floors ) etc...

[sfenn1117]

I think NY Place is dead but thanks for reminding me of Times Square Plaza.....I think we all forgot about that one. Has anyone walked by the lot lately, it's like a jungle!

I might get to work on it a little tonight. I'm going away for the weekend but I PROMISE I'll finish this on Monday and Tuesday.

I still need to figure out how to post more than 10 pics in 1 post. :confused:

[Gulcrapek]

Brooklyn Sky isn't gone, it's just mostly an archive now. I might update from time to time.

[PHLguy]

NY is an impressive city....yea!

[PHLguy]

BTW they lowered the con ed site buildings to 880 feet at the most I hear.

Okay and your sources of rumor and conjecture are so reliable. To anyone who hasn't become aware to the situation with PHLGUY, 880 feet was a number floating around for this project back when it was first announced, it was in the very first DGEIS released several years ago when the development firm was still known as FSM: Fisher Solow Morgan Stanley. Today only Solow is the developer and that 880 figure went the way of the other two, a very long way back.

[Ninjahedge]

Don't be so..... Stern!

;)

Nice play on words. I have to maintain though a certain intellectual atmosphere, the mindless conjecture which is the only thing PHLGUY posts does not contribute to such aspirations.

[sfenn1117]

When was the last time we heard anything about the ConEd site? No one knows what's going on yet.

Meanwhile this time next year 5(!) towers will be under construction that will fall in NY's top 10 (I'm assuming height on Gehry's tower). So stop spaming every thread about how NY's hi-rise days are dead. (phlguy)

Off topic I had such an awesome weekend at college orientation, met some cool people and I'm finally ready to give this rural life a go. It's beautiful in northeast Vermont, I promise a photothread when I get there! Hopefully I'll finish this up tonight and tomorrow.

[Stern]

Just because you'll be in Vermont don't forget about us here.
