I wish they kept with this design!! It was futuristic and unique (although it did feel somewhat like 270 Park as mentioned)! I wonder what a render would look like with 270’s shape, but with the east and west sides with how 350 would’ve looked!

More like a stack of boxes
The design will more than likely change again

TKDV’s model shows it very well, here is my interpretation of it as seen from 30 Rock:

Hopefully the easement agreement points towards a more interesting western facade in future design variations!

Awesome work, thank you! Is that configuration of window punch-outs (not a technical term, I don’t know what you call them) totally speculative? They would really help make the core feel transparent and integrated with the building as opposed to just a big blank wall.

Thank you! The core of my model is still directly based on the original design for 350 Park, which had elevator banks on the sides and the stairwell and other services in the centre, in addition to another elevator and stairwell core inside the building:
However, with a single rendering to go off of, I would consider my model to be purely speculative at this point.
My impression of TKDV’s model is that all of the elevators and services are shifted to the offset core, similar to 425 Park for example, which would make sense as the later design seems to have less east-west depth to fit the internal cores.

I hope this goes past 1400 ft

I was really thinking more like 500 meters after they acquired more air rights. You can build as high as you want on any lot in New York (no height limit in place).
But apparently only the floor areas are getting bigger as a result of the purchase?
But if Citadel wants to have some condos or an expensive hotel with it so 350 Park Ave becomes a mixed use. (Yes then 1600 feet or more could easily be possible here. Personal speculation)

I am quite sure that there are height limits in many areas of NYC. But even if there are not limits the FAA would have a lot to say. The airports are a big factor since two of the major ones are within the city limits and Newark is not far away.

I only mentioned this because they have acquired more air rights. So I finally thought that 350 Park Avenue can be planned/built higher.

Looks like 270 sliced in half. I hope the offset core on the west side has glass elevator shafts.

That’s just 270 park’s old design

Why do they continue to massacre this building?

Because they need to hire someone else other than F+P.

They do have quite the growing collection on Park Ave. Let someone else cook.
