More Trump Riverside South development

Thanks for the update. Too bad the worst design is also the tallest.

Are there any plans to do something with the site where the New York Central Railroad Float Bridges are located?
That place is so ugly and I don't think that anyone wants to have a view on them from the new condominium.

Some people might find it not ugly but picturesque, as to the plans, take a look at New York Times article in this thread

"Under a new plan for Riverside Park South, being built between the Hudson River and the 13-block-long Trump Place development, a 90-year-old New York Central Railroad float bridge at the foot of 69th Street would be turned into a landing for small, high-speed ferries."

The broad bases are disturbing. Why not a tower that rises sheer ?
These are pale imitations of old, romantic buildings. Pointless ?

[NYguy]

Interesting building. *I love that view with the AOL/TW center rising...

[Gulcrapek]

140 RB doesn't look all that interesting to me. It actually looks kind of sickening.

[Fabb]

The calculated progression of height from South to North is unnatural.

[ZippyTheChimp]

Fat bottoms.

I'm alll about major development, but this is such a prime location (waterfront) that you would like to see at least some innovation in architecture, some glass and steel!

[TLOZ Link5]

These designs are way too conservative.

Construction is in progress on 240 Riverside Boulevard at Trump Place. The building will block the river views from the Chatsworth, a Beaux-Arts masterpiece where Conan O'Brien now occupies the penthouse. 24 March 2003.
