This conceptual image shows the largest tower that could replace the Chrysler Trylons.
„ His options are open depending on market demand. The new building could be as relatively small as 100,000 square feet, for which he’d ask $10 million in annual rent on a triple-net-lease basis (tenant pays rent, utilities and operating/maintenance costs).
He said an office or hotel tower, or a project combining uses, could be as large as 600,000 square feet and rise “up to the level of the Chrysler gargoyles” at the tower’s 52nd floor.“
Something no more than ~300 feet seems ideal here to preserve views of Chrysler from the east.
A new structure topping out at or near the second setback of Chrysler at the 23rd floor would leave the entirety of the main shaft visible from all the best perspectives.
