Now imagine that shot with 350 Park.

350 would be out of shot to the right, but we all know what you mean. If the spires aren’t value engineered out it would be noticeably taller than 270 PA.

Needs a 300 foot spire and then we’re golden

Looks to be around ~1475 ft in those latest renders, using One Vanderbilt’s 100-ft spire as a benchmark. I honestly would not be upset if it ends up being ~1450 ft or so, that’s still an impressive height for such a wide tower even if it’s lower than originally planned. I care more about design than height, and this is a spectacular design. Sure it would be great if it’s ~1600 ft like originally planned, but a ~1450 ft version of 175 Park would still be an iconic skyline-dominating monster.

My guess would be around ~1500 ft, considering that it’s on a lower elevation than One Vandy. But like you said, it would still be a imposing monster whether it’s over 1450 or 1575 ft

If this gets built, it might easily become my favorite of the supertalls. It’s spectacular. Would love to see it at 1600’. No spire.

Doesn’t this copy the style of another recent midtown building—the one with three columns on top?

what about that other rendering showing the building in the daytime? I’ve never seen that one before. Looks really cool by the way

The highest quality of that rendering I’ve found so far is from the Financial Times article from February, however this version does not include 270 Park:
Full res is 2228x1525 in size, but it is a very compressed image: https://d1e00ek4ebabms.cloudfront.net/production/58785533-10db-4ef1-a20c-d46021f77fe0.jpg

I’d be very interested to know where the latest renderings NYGuy posted are from, I haven’t yet found the source online. It looks like it could have been an Instagram story or similar.

Now that you mentioned it, it does reminds me of that new building on Park Avenue (I believe it’s 425 Park Avenue)
NYC76–Right! That’s the one.

I hope it’s silver like the old renders and not blue like the new renders.

I’m surprised by the decline of sky lobbies as a way to reduce the core footprint in newer supertalls.
Near the base the core footprint is so large it must really eat into the lease-able space, reducing efficiency/profitability.
I wonder if there will be a sky lobby for the hotel space at least?
