Douglaston Development has filed a new building application for a third Edge tower, Brownstoner has learned. Since there are no renderings yet, here’s a picture of The Edge from U2, jamming with Bono. The new tower will probably look, and be, approximately that insufferable.
The proposed building would be designed by architects the Stephen B Jacobs group. It would rise 40 stories — 398 feet — and contain 554 units. In addition, there would be 678 square feet of commercial space, 160 “dry floodproofed” parking spaces, bike storage, regular storage, a business center, a playroom, an outdoor, a gym, and, most notably, a rooftop terrace with a barbecue, pool and hot tub. We, for one, cannot wait to see what the advertisements for this one are going to look like.
We need more of these towers. They help to create new skylines. I’m always a fan of those lone towers or small clusters of towers that overtime, become catalysts for high density growth in areas that were once nothing but warehouses.
