i didn’t notice the setbacks. Reminds me of 270 park.

I’d like to see this from the north or south to better ascertain the depth of the setbacks. They seem to be significant. I’d also like to see if they’re on the East facade too. I can’t imagine that they’re not.

I don’t hate it, I don’t love it. What I do hate is how so many NYC towers are initially really interesting, then slowly morph into a box.

Well, now that I’ve seen all the renders of the current design it looks like it actually will have mirrored setbacks. I also saw a rendering where a setback is punched down on the north side of the base

Anyone know why only part of the site is rising?
That portion is at street level now. From last night:

they never snagged an anchor tenant so it is unlikely that they will build all that much further. Even with Boston Properties on board there hasn’t been anything new other than the new design.

I’m surprised they spent the money to build it to ground level. Maybe the plan is for a couple of stories for retail on the 34th street side while they wait until the next cycle?

I assumed that they were either building on spec or to ground level so that it’s ready to fly if they get a tenant. Before the virus, the economy was booming, and the HY was filling up rapidly.
