Iâm happy a large project seems to be moving forward, but I do think the design has regressed. It looks, not just conventional, but even like Foster is ripping off his own work. The width even tapers ever so slightly (without setbacks on 51st or 52nd), just like JP Morgan HQ.
Makes me think Citadel might actually want it to look nondescript and asked Foster to minimize how much it stands out.

Global financial services powerhouse Citadel is expanding its New York City footprint by leasing 504,000 square feet at 660 Fifth Avenue. This strategic move comes as the firm awaits the completion of its new headquarters at 350 Park Avenue, a 62-story office tower being developed in partnership with Vornado Realty Trust (VNO) and Rudin. The new headquarters is slated for completion in 2032, where Citadel will occupy approximately 850,000 square feet.
The lease at 660 Fifth Avenue, a 39-floor Midtown Manhattan office tower, allows Citadel to maintain its operations seamlessly during the interim.
âŚâŚCitadel plans to relocate from its current space at 350 Park Avenue to 660 Fifth Avenue in 2025. Additionally, Citadel and its affiliate, Citadel Securities, operate a 440,000-square-foot office nearby at L&L Holding Companyâs 425 Park Avenue. This move reinforces Citadelâs strong presence in Midtown Manhattanâs premier office market.

â Earlier this year, Citadel, Rudin and Vornado unveiled a plan to build a 1.8 million square foot, 62-story tower at 350 Park Avenue, which will house some 6,000 workers, most of them from Citadel.
In the meantime, Citadel leased 500,000 square feet at 660 Fifth Avenue, taking 20 of the buildingâs 39 floors.
The new tower represents âcontinued efforts to energize Midtown Manhattan as the worldâs most important business address and an economic engine for working-class New Yorkers,â Mayor Eric Adams said when the new tower was announced.â

â The tower, designed by Foster + Partners, is expected to be completed by 2032. According to the filing, the building will include roughly 1.5 million square feet (139,000 square meters) of commercial space largely for office and trading use, with nearly 17,000 square feet of ground-floor retail that is expected to be used for food spots. There will also be a public concourse.â

Per NYGuy on SSP:
Official height via ULURP is 1,585.8â

This is the maximum height of the envelope, not necessarily the building, the final building height/general dimensions is always smaller than the maximum permitted envelope dimensions because of additional setback/inset offsets from the permitted envelope enclosure. The offset is normally 10â, so the building height is probably 1575â.
ULURP dictates maximum permitted building envelope (an imaginary encasement), not the actual building enclosure dimensions (the physical building), which must simply abide by the permitted envelope.

Last I saw, 350 Parkâs height is around 1,504â.
Thatâs not correct.
Have you seen the elevation plans?
They are getting the figure from this
Which as I mentioned, is reflective of the building maximum permitted envelope and not the actual top of the building. Also want to point out that NYguy on SSP did not explicitly say what was mentioned, they only shared the images.

All I know is that 1,504â is not âapproximately 1,600ââ

This zoning lot site plan appropriately calls out the actual proposed height of the building itself at 1576â.

Ah, I hadnât seen this plan. I apologize for the confusion. I was going off the plans I saw this past autumn.
