For me in my hypothetical scenario, if I had something to say to them based on that quote, my thought process would be like: “So let me get this straight. You deliberately reduced the height by 71 ft for no substantial reason, yet you claim that it will have NO effect on the design and bulk. The ONLY effect it’ll have for this building is the height. And yet, since you claimed that it’ll still be taller than the surrounding buildings, AGAIN what’s the point of the height reduction?”
Does it seem too harsh even though it’s hypothetical?
Well I had thought that NYC was closing in on Shenzhen in number of total skyscrapers. But I just looked at the CTBUH’s site.
Currently it says
NYC - 303
Shenzhen - 353
Close right? No big deal to make that up.
Then I looked at under construction
NYC - 22
Shenzhen - 157
yikes.
Hong Kong is a monster as always with 546, but surprisingly only has 24 under construction. Ofc I don’t know how accurate the CTBUH’s data is either so.
The prospect of the Oakland A’s moving to Las Vegas seems to be getting bigger and bigger so its questionable if Howard Terminal will be built and the entire development around it since it’s centered around the construction of the field.
Well seeing as Allegiant Stadium isn’t convertible like their old stadium was, I’d suspect that they’d also have to build their own new baseball stadium.
Seeing all these state of the art venues makes me want a new Madison Square Garden. I’d loved to get NYCFC, NYC Red Bulls, and NYG/NYJ an arena/stadium in New York smh.
Since it’s not guaranteed it’ll be built yet, if speculations of the 25,000 seat figure are still up-to-date, it could be nice or a flop like other soccer stadiums of that size.
NYC Red Bulls stadium is “okay”, it’s nothing special. But it has a nice symmetric design and isn’t all haphazard like some other soccer stadiums. In terms of size its a good example to use for the NYCFC stadium.
