ya this is 5 or 6 sites. > [@NEW YORK | 570 Fifth Avenue | ? FT | ? FLOORS](http://forum.newyorkyimby.com/t/new-york-562-570-5th-ave-ft-floors/499/13): > > Interestingly, 2-10 W 47th St appear to be coming down. The tenants have been cleared out. They are nice old office towers, and they’re adjacent to 3-13 W 46th St. I assume it’s all one assemblage. This can turn out to be a gigantic site. I suspect that there will be a huge retail component. Everything seen in this photo is included in this huge site except for a small building at 572 5th and the gorgeous old corner building at 576 Fifth, which I hope will be preserved.… closest thing I found was this one, but it is SL Green, not excel and the other side of the block. ---

okay now I read it closer it appears that the article only referred to the 46th side of the assemblage. And 47th side is separate and they bought the properties off SL Green. I count a total of 8 sites in this assemblage. I cant see how this wont be really f-ing tall in an area that could use a noteworthy building. ---

[Skyscraper List](http://skyscrapercenter.com/interactive-data/submit?type%5B%5D=building&status%5B%5D=COM&status%5B%5D=UC&status%5B%5D=UCT&status%5B%5D=STO&status%5B%5D=PRO&base_region=0&base_country=0&base_city=1641&base_height_range=0&base_company=All&base_min_year=1900&base_max_year=9999&comp_region=0&comp_country=0&comp_city=0&comp_height_range=3&comp_company=All&comp_min_year=1960&comp_max_year=2017&skip_comparison=on&output%5B%5D=list&dataSubmit=Show+Results) I find this interesting about the current wave. Look through the list. A vast majority of on going construction and proposals are in the +750 foot range. Once you get down to about 61 on this list the current projects and proposals thin out. I think much of this has to do with the fact that unless you are building in the outer boroughs it just does not make sense economically to build under 200m or so. Which that is where we see most of the 100m-200m activity is in LIC and DOBRO. The places in Manhattan to build in this range are shrinking. With no go zones like East/West/Greenwich Villages and the NIMBY warriors in the upper east/west sides we are not seeing a ton of the 100-200meter towers. Anyways I found this interesting, maybe someone else has a theory on why it looks this way this wave. ---

It’s all about the view! 😄 Manhattan has developed a 600’ - 700’ plateau, in Midtown and Downtown even a 800’+ one. Developers have to build tall to offer unrestricted views. Many prime locations are filled with tall skyscrapers, so there’s no way around it. ---

Exactly! This is why the plateau will eventually be 1000’ in even midtown, or at least certain sections. It’s slowly happening with the HY towers to start ---

Even more international development money and thousands of new financial jobs to come to New York? They certainly won’t be going to our major financial competitor, London, for quite a while. If the US and NYC can stay out of a recession… Let’s see what happens! ---

I think the basic point of the bill is to prevent the landmarks commission from tying up lots from being developed while they are being reviewed. The result should be that they will only be able to focus on the sites that truly deserve landmark status instead of every old building. ---

I was thinking this is the perfect thread for us to sticky to the top of the forum and then make actual links to each page for each building under construction. I was thinking of doing it by region of the New York Metro Area. Robert already sort of started, except it’s not categorized and it’s not linked to each page yet. Manhattan (list all towers in height order) Brooklyn (list all towers in height order) Queens (list all towers in height order) Jersey City (list all towers in height order) Other Areas including Fort Lee, Newark, White Plains, etc. Anyone else agree? ---

That would be nice indeed. There’s the supertall (actually 200m+) list on SSP, but this will take even more time. On SSP, I’ve also linked every project to its corresponding thread. I guess there has to be cut heightwise, maybe @500’. EDIT: ok, a list for U/C buldings only wouldn’t break the mold. 🙂 ---

We can tag it’s status next to the height within the list. ---

MANHATTAN | 432 Park Avenue | 1,397 FT | 85 FLOORS ect. Just want to get a survey up. Are some for it? Against it? Think it will help in organization?

I think Manhattan should be NEW YORK since that’s unferstood. NEW YORK | 432 Park Ave | 1,397 FT | 85 FLOORS While the rest gets their rightful designation. BROOKLYN | 340 Flatbush Ave | 1,066 FT | 70 FLOORS QUEENS | 29-27 Queens Plaza North | 915 FT | 77 FLOORS JERSEY CITY | 99 Hudson St | 900 FT | 76 FLOORS ---

All, please see below on how I’d do this list. I’m thinking we can put it on the top of this page and then just pin it to the top of the forum. The name of each tower is hyperlinked to that towers page on our forums. We list each tower by area in height order and a status of where it stands construction wise. I started a small sample in Manhattan and added in the JDS site in Brooklyn. **Manhattan** [Central Park Tower](http://forum.newyorkyimby.com/t/new-york-217-225-west-57th-st-1-550-ft-95-floors/260) (Nordstrom Tower) [U/C] 1550’ [111 West 57th Street](http://forum.newyorkyimby.com/t/new-york-111-west-57th-st-1-428-ft-82-floors/261/270) (Steinway Tower) [U/C] 1428’ [30 Hudson Yard](http://forum.newyorkyimby.com/t/new-york-30-hudson-yards-1-296-ft-395-m-90-floors/201/209)s [U/C] 1296’ **Brooklyn** [340-366 Flatbush Avenue](http://forum.newyorkyimby.com/t/new-york-340-366-flatbush-ave-1-066-ft-70-floors/338) 1066’ **Queens** **Jersey City** **All Other Areas Including Fort Lee, White Plains, Newark, Etc.** [Previous page](https://forum.newyorkyimby.com/t/highrise-skyscraper-development-lists-all-u-s-cities-applicable/1691.md?page=4) [Next page](https://forum.newyorkyimby.com/t/highrise-skyscraper-development-lists-all-u-s-cities-applicable/1691.md?page=6)
