The hotel can cancel reservations with a relatively short notice (~weeks), as did The Mirage etc

Previous plans: 83 stories, 1,580ft
New plans: 95 stories and could now be expected to reach ~1,646ft
The companies earlier this month filed new plans for a 95-story office and hotel tower beside Grand Central and with the extra floors the venture now expects the building to be 1,646 feet. Previous plans had called for an 83-floor building rising to 1,580 feet. Representatives at RXR Realty LLC and TF Cornerstone couldn’t be immediately reached for comment Wednesday.
New plans call for about 1.9 million square feet of office space and roughly 300,000 square feet of hotel space.
Fried Frank Harris Shriver & Jacobson LLP is also assisting with a project at nearby 350 Park Ave., which is the third-tallest project in New York.
The project is expected to be completed by 2030.

175 Park is now officially taller than 350 Park?

Whoa this doesn’t usually happen much. Will they yet again redesign the crown proportions? Or was the latest already reflective of this height bump?

Wasn’t 1,646 feet specifically the zoning height? I still have a feeling it won’t reach that height

1,646 is a very New York number.

350 PA is only 1413’ tall, this was always taller than it, even when 350 was at its tallest, which was only 1576’. Im not sure why everyone (the media) is still reporting it as the 3rd tallest building.
Thats correct, 1646’ is the height of the maximum zoning envelope. Due to this going through ULURP, it has a maximum permitted height. I’m not sure of any instances where the height has ever been changed from the initial establishing. That’s typical very difficult to do because you’d basically have to redo everything again, which doesnt seem like RXR would do with the schedule they are following/have planned, so it will most likely just top out at 1646’ if there was some sort of height increase from the 1580’ figure.

Pardon my ignorance, but do architectural details, like spires or crowns, get included as part of the max height allowed in the zoning envelope, or does it just account for occupiable floors? Not saying I believe this will get a spire, but just asking as a general question

Go big or go home. Probably the most important and easily accessible location for a skyscraper on the entire continent. They will only get more exponentially expensive to build without government loans; so they might as well ball out and give us a megatall here lol. Midtown really deserves a magnum opus.

Older render, not sure if this has been posted yet. This building will dominate from most angles. Especially looking north - and from Brooklyn

I know people always say this but dang will the Chrysler look small lol. Once the tallest, now being dominated by its future next door neighbor
Also, I feel like One Vanderbilt is like the 21st century version of the Empire State and 175 Park Ave is kinda like the Chrysler but just without the spire

Not only does the Chrysler look small, but the MetLife building is also slowly becoming more and more insignificant. This and 350 will make it seem really small.

And when the Chrysler was built it made Grand Central look minuscule. Such is the beauty of an ever evolving city

It’s crazy how we got 2 WTC starting up again, 15 Penn in talks with an anchor tenant, Hudson Yards phase 2 is closer than ever, 350 Park has started the process of starting demolition, 3 Hudson Boulevard might start soon, and now 175 Park Avenue has been increased in size with construction to start this year

Is 2030 a realistic timeline if demo hasn’t even started yet?
