What is the actual height of these buildings?
Article says 761 ft, but the top says 1,008?
multiple towers are proposed by different developers. JDS will build the supertall here at 247 Cherry.

Ah thank you. Nice to see another supertall go up, and from a skyline perspective it will be great for the East Side. Jersey’s gonna come up lacking lol.

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.

How many buildings in the Two Bridges? One over 1000 feet, two between 700-800, and one at 700 feet? So 4 buildings?

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 helps build future interest.

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.
Second Proposal, with three towers roughly 35-40 stories in height at the Smith Houses.

Are these real projects?
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. But considering the upcoming projects in the waterfront area, I’m sure these will come to fruition.
