You’re probably right that there will be some sort of bar/restaurant that comes with the hotel, which would otherwise be somewhat hard to argue that there wouldn’t be one.
It’s probably allocated on one of the hotel floors similar to how other setups are at other hotel properties around the city but the usage just wouldn’t change on the list for it.
Whos the lucky anchor?!
This article is also about a 70-story project near Hudson Yards, but I can’t read the article.
“
New Building: The largest new building application filed last week was for a 3.2 million-square-foot skyscraper at 175 Park Avenue in the East Midtown-Turtle Bay section of Manhattan. The developers are RXR Realty and TF Cornerstone. Vram Malek with Skidmore, Owings and Merrill is the architect.

New Building: In Manhattan’s Chelsea-Hudson Yards neighborhood, the Hudson Boulevard Collective filed plans to construct two towers across 1.7 million square feet at 548 and 550 West 36th Street. The structures will house 1,758 residential units. Daniel Kaplan is the architect.

Quoted from the article.
I don’t get it sorry, wasn’t this one already approved?
Approved by city council, but demo and construction permits still need to be approved by DoB.
Edit: to add, has the building scope grown? Even if it’s gross square ft 3.2M is more than was previously disclosed. That’s ~3/4 of a twin tower!
doesn’t say anything about 70-story tower:
This is Site K right?
If you can read it lol
is archive ph down?
It has been for several months.
The plans detail a project a dozen stories taller than the previously reported 83-floor count. It would span nearly 3 million square feet, mostly covered by office space and hotel rooms filling out the top floors. There would also be floors for bike storage, retail space and a bar. Construction is expected to start in the next few months, according to a spokesperson for RXR.
I don’t really care how tall a skyscraper is, but when it comes to 175 Park Ave., I’m still hoping for a maximum height of 1,600 feet (500 meters).
It should be the tallest in the U.S. tbh but thats a bit of a stretch 
Go big or go home energy that’s been sorely missing in a lot of projects. I love it
I’m honestly fine with this being cut in half because of the proximity of an iconic landmark. But I’m no architect, I don’t work with the DOB or FAA so I guess I have no say
remember, stories dont equal height. stories is a marketing concept.
I put that rendering on Wikimedia Commons as a royalty-free image for the proposal, it’s really cool to see it used in these articles! Though chances are that the info in those articles ironically makes my rendering outdated now
Hehehehehe
Put a spire on it too at this point LOL
Any idea when the hotel would close? Bookings still extend to the end of the year—well past when construction is meant to begin.
