What is that green facade? Is it terra cotta ?
Seems like SHoP really likes using terra cotta. Reminds me of 111 57th. Looks great.

Fantastic! Pushing past the 1000ft mark in this area is astounding, especially to consider how the area looked a year ago, and still even today!
I assume the design with basically stay the same bar a few tweaks to the base and a further slender tower.

Amazing! 1,008’ is big time especially for that area. That area is going to be a new supertall corridor in lower Manhattan in a few years.

660 unit building with no parking! This is completely absurd!

I agree that at least some parking is required, however with how much New Yorkers use public transport and taxis and the range they get I can understand why. I’m sure the majority of the residents are wealthy enough to buy/rent a personal garage of there own down the road anyway haha!
That’s one reason as to why NY is so great, that even though many of you are professionals and work in the city, you still use public transport for the majority of your journeys. Over here in England it’s the opposite despite the great public transport networks in some of our cities like my home city, Nottingham.

It’s Manhattan. I live in a 900-unit building with no parking. It’s wonderful.
