What is the actual height of these buildings? Article says 761 ft, but the top says 1,008? ---

It’s really going to be 2 supertalls. One will be 748 feet and the other will be 798 feet. They are classified as one because they are both part of the same new superstructure that is going up. ---

Hopefully we see a lot more! Not only around this bridge but the other one as well! Speaking of both bridges need renovation, maybe the city should make a deal where the devs help pay for the reno and they get extra air rights? ---

It looks nice. I know it’s just distance warping but it does look (from this direction and location) really nice at that height when compared with downtown and especially 1 WTC. Hopefully we see more height on both sides of the river, for both of the Major bridges right there. ---

I especially love these proposals. They add needed density in an area of the city that needs it, and present an informal second phase of the improvement of this area, while softening some of the harsh lines of the first phase towers. These will represent the Battery Park City phase of the Two Bridges neighborhood. First Proposal, one new tower 38 stories in height at the Laguardia Houses. ![5FFA397D-03D1-4207-B930-9DC07D160B11](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/yimby/original/3X/1/5/15eca280d7f9413a5f95d9870783c5419fdf6163.jpeg) ![5FC01564-63F3-4124-9183-C2AB596BEA86](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/yimby/original/3X/d/c/dcb183113e4ba5c1969a2bc3a56c445c79149d95.jpeg) Second Proposal, with three towers roughly 35-40 stories in height at the Smith Houses. ![9B27494E-9D83-45AD-97EE-5CDECBCE9C0A](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/yimby/original/3X/d/e/de0b79b68b9a7bd3fc39fa0f959d33a927204219.jpeg) ![8F5452D7-BBB7-4293-B669-5AE2C8DC030A](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/yimby/original/3X/9/3/932845e426c9ec123278222037c2065dc39a1428.jpeg) ---

Hmmm I don’t think so, they’re just infills to show what can built in the area (LaGuardia housing in the LES). In fact, it’s stalled.
