Oops! That building's gone now:

The changes on 42nd Street from river to river have been monumental.

Is this the site where a whole block on 42nd street is been clear?

**NewYorkYankee** · August 30th, 2005, 10:07 PM

This site looks huge! This building will be quite massive.

**Drexel** · August 30th, 2005, 11:57 PM

This property is going to be great....will it be taking up the whole block?

Another WorldWide Plaza project in the making

according to The Real deal news....

September 2005,

Twining Properties is collaborating with the Related Companies and MacFarlane Partners on an 800-unit project at 440 West 42nd Street that was originally planned as two rental towers to be built in phases side by side. Now, due to price increases, developers have chosen to go with one condominium and one rental tower, stacked one upon the other.

I wonder if the new design is still the one that will be built. It's no longer on Twinings' website. Personally, I don't like it.

Does anyone know how tall this building will be in terms of feet?

**krulltime** · September 7th, 2005, 03:31 PM

^ I don't know but I bet this one is going to be bigger than the Orion! 800 units!!!

demoliton as of 9-29-05:

**BrooklynRider** · September 29th, 2005, 11:49 AM

Well, that's the end of an era.

Two positive aspects of this project:

1. It will help to hide the corny striped building to the east.

2. It will help to hide the utilitarian but homely orange brick building to the south

Where will Robin Byrd shoot her cable show now that the studios on 42nd / 10th Ave. are gone? (Is she even around anymore?)

BTW: The unimpeded views (thanks to the Port Authority Terminal) from the upper floors of this building to the SE should be spectacular: NY Times tower, ESB
