Another nice classical pre-war block comes down, I hope the replacement design is nice.

Considering the small floor plates, I assume that this will be a spec tower aimed at small law firms, hedge funds, etc.
I hope that it is and will not sit as an empty lot for several years.
BP also is building 3 Hudson Blvd.
KPF is the architect, and they indicated on their presentations that that’s not the design.
The phrase, “Diagram is illustrative …,” makes me sanguine.

Horrible!!!
Ugly. I honestly think a plain, slick black box would look better than this.

Another filler for the 1000 ft plateau.

It won’t be that bad as long as the cladding is decent. It will probably just blend in like the Centrale, etc

US cities with a taller building: NY, Chicago, LA, SF, and Philly.
10 years ago, this would be the second tallest building to roof in Midtown.
NYC went 40 years without building a tower this tall. 1931-1971.
1,050 feet is no joke.
“Laissez le bon temps rouler”, as they say.

It’s alright, I know this is concept but the design looks decent. It does suck it can’t be bigger but it’s ok. 1 through 10, I’ll give it a 6 or 7
If that’s it, what exists there now is much much preferred!

The rendering isn’t accurate, if it’s in fact 1050 ft it would be around the same height as 1VB observation deck.

BP ALWAYS drops the ball in NY. 3 Hudson is the one nice building that they’re involved with. I had hoped that with 3H, they had turned over a new leaf, but if this PoS is what they plan to build, then they still suck
So this PoS is only about 800k sf?
