I just noticed some more info on the building on the world product centre site.

Looks like these guys really know what they are doing.

I'm not that thrilled with the building; it's not bad but not great either. I guess it depends how the skin turns out though the skin does look nice in the close-up. This was a good find nonetheless.

But because of this....

MTA Subway extension

The 7-train extension project, serving the redevelopment of the Hudson Yards area, contains plans to house a subway stop directly underneath World Product Centre.

You won't be seeing anything rise up from this site for quite a while

Thank you for posting that.
It looks nice. They said to be completed Winter 2013. 978' tall

They located the building on the wrong site in the location diagram. This is where the Steven Holl tower will rise.

This is going to be a great tower.

**lofter1** · September 2nd, 2008, 02:42 PM

Steven Holl tower will rise one block east at Tenth / 31st (east side of the block).

This is showing a site at 30th < > 31st / Tenth <> Eleventh

Note the south end of the High Line running along the southern edge of the site -- that is 30th STreet.

34th Street at Eleventh is where the (3) is shown

Your right, they're showing the tower in the middle of Hudson Yards.

Another image...on all the renderings a small note states that the renderings may not reflect the final design. So maybe it's downhill from here.

NOT gonna happen.....I walk by this site everyday.
The people working on the 7 line extension said they would not be able to turn the site over for constructing a building there
for at least 4 or 5 more years.

this looks the SOM building in korea

I love it. I love it. I love it. I just came.

If NY needs anything, it's stuff like 3WTC, Hearst Tower, 53 West 53rd, and this.

**Antares41** · September 2nd, 2008, 06:57 PM

Well enough with the cross-bracing, WTC3, Hearst, and the much anticipated 53 W53rd have got that feature covered. I was hoping for something more adventuresome. Nevertheless the height is fantastic.

**lofter1** · September 2nd, 2008, 07:35 PM

This image shows the bulding sitting between 34th Street (at left ) <> 33rd ...

Note the double-block hulk sitting at the far right. That brutal thing sits on the east side of Tenth over the RR tracks between 33rd <> 31st Streets.

I'll take it. The top could be a little less flat but overall, I'll gladly take it.

By the way, the MTA could learn a few things from this subway entrance, which if realized, will immediately be the finest subway entrance in the entire city.
