69 floors could be a condo supertall, although the number of units suggests apartments and not uber luxury condos.
What a the height? The article says 300 thousand square feet, 69 story residential tower. How tall would that roughly be?
Sounds like 800’ of rentals to me
This is a very good location. Should be over a 1000 feet for it to stand out.
The old tower at 1005 feet was 370K sq feet. The new one is also 370k sq feet.
Does anyone know what building(s) will come down?
I know that everyone flips out when I discuss what sh…it I’d like to see come down, but this PoS has been on my list for years.
This filthy junk too…
These are not junk. They have been badly marred by signs and other changes but their bones are good. The top photo especially displays a building with lots of interesting touches. They may be small when you want big but junk they are not. Like many other older buildings they can give the city some real architectural interest if preserved and rehabbed.
I certainly agree; however, they are utterly dilapidated and sadly, will never be restored. Faced with that reality, I’d rather see them get redeveloped.
Well if you agree they are not junk then perhaps you should stop using the epithet POS and state your actual reasons for hoping they come down. At least then forum users will have some substance to agree or disagree with. We can’t really react well to POS except to say, “There he goes again.”
From SkyscraperPage, the building will be -just- 743 feet.
There was a great poster on Wired New York very long ago who used the term “PoS.” I had no idea what it meant and was amused when he told me. Anyway, he died, and I use it in his honor.
That’s an ok height with me. They should build a little smaller around the ESB
Tell that to 262 Fifth Avenue.
It’ll still the the tallest there, not counting the ESB.
looks like there’s a double @chris08876 @Mackensen

Chertrit owns this assemblage and recently bought 235k SF of air rights from the magnificent corner structure.
He has a total of 375,000 SF. Stay tuned, folks!
This is close to the ESB and has a chance to be pretty tall if it’s condos/hotel.
