hey forum, i read this forum from time to time to see what new proposals are currently out there. So all of you are way more knowledgable about me on the data. What would you say is the outlook for...

looks like 5 or 6 more floors to go to the roof, then comes the slanted structure

it looks really amazing from 8th avenue and 14th street as hudson curves up and becomes 8th avenue. At that point it looks really powerful. Once the rods go up all the way the needle will look alot...

For everyone who is complaining about the glass. Do you realize that the glass you see now is not going to continue past the highest floor its on right now at the south east corner? The type of...

i was on 10th avenue and 38 st today and you can get a good view of the building from there. Now as the outer skin is getting higher up i noticed that those bars on the skin create a very weird...

BOA in those shots from that show is TOWERING OVER Conde Nast by alot!!! This building is going to rock!!! perfect location for such a tall one!!!

on sunday i saw that they are now removing alot of the blue protective film that they have had on those metal bars that surrounds the outside of each floors and its a very clean white color, it looks...

im a student at Pace and i saw the president of the school give a speech where he mentioned the school is in discussions with Ratner to get part of the building. The school really wants and needs...

id love to take pictures but my camera is broken. I want to get a digital camera to replace it though.

i was driving up 6th avenue today and noticed that from the 20s and below on 6th the Chelsea Tower's water tower which is masked with a slanted roof thingy will look pretty cool with the slanted BOA...

the view of Bloomberg from Park Avenue in the 60s is awesome! It rises way above the residential stuff on Park Ave which makes it look extremely tall. Also at some points in the 60s on park you can...

Christian how is another spire/antenna a bad thing? Would you prefer flat roofs all around? The vast majority of buildings have a flat roof already. We need MORE spires not less!! more i say...

yes seven according to the renderings. They look like 7 seperate "floors" but their heights are lower than the real floors just below. From the renderings these 7 fakes will equal 5 of the real. So...

i went by the building today and it looks like they are adding the crown section immediately. Right now it looks like a concrete slab beginning above the last floor.

i dont understand how eminent domain applies here. In the case of the NYTimes building that block was considered to be "blighted" but this area clearly is not. So what are the legal reasons to be...

ninjahedge, that building with the squares on the facade is the hilton times square hotel. I think they did that to make it look temporarily nice since that wall has no windows. When they built it...

the rendering clearly shows the building to be at least 900 ft, heres my calculations.
Using the markings made by NYGuy on the photo, take a ruler and you will see that from the ground to the top of...

dont worry that the plot size is too big since it wont be built to fit the entire plot. They will want a sizable gap between it and Conde Nast. That was the entire reason for the purchase of those...

the slope of the cables to the needle needs to be much more like in Citicorp. It looks way too falt, i really like the slope of the original libesking freedom tower. The flatness of the top of the...

Libeskind is a fool, he will not be the one designing all the towers and his "guidelines" are bs and certainly wont be followed. All i want from his guidelines is the height figures given - 871 feet...

yeah i see it too, a large part of the sloped roof is missing

yeah probably some neon piping, sorta like 101 Park Ave has those white lines lit up on its top

Christian where did you get that rendering from? Thats not the new design right? It looks exactly the same as the old design just from another angle.

so that wall thing is supposed to be a prow? Whats its prupose, it looks pretty stupid to me. I bet you they use it as ad space for huge banners.

wow those pics are awesome, it makes that area look like its only seperate city somehow with the twins rising above the rest.
