I’m just gonna bump this comment again. I think this is very solid speculation on your part. I think they are moving on this before the market starts sliding into recession 1-2 years from now. A rush to get all of this up and going. I think that’s why we are seeing rushes on 270 Park, Tower 5th, and what looks like 350 Park. Aiming for liquid capital to mitigate any potential risk should the markets go sour and banks become hesitant to lend big.
Likewise with the flurry of building on-spec.
Blackrock isn’t moving from this site until the spiral is complete so we will have to wait until 2021/22 for this to start
of course, the time frame is a number of years, but not 5-10+ years.
Blackrock is moving to 50 HY, but its the same time-frame anyway.
The earliest this thing could be finished would be 5 years from now and probably more like 6-7.
Blackrock is planning to move into 50 in early 2022…meaning demo can’t start (at least on their building) until then…meaning foundation work probably wouldn’t be finished until 2023 and then at least two years of construction after that.
thats a while. at least we will have 270 park and park hyatt to keep us entertained during that time

The building all the way to the the extreme right of the this KL pano looks a lot like 350 Park
Ilham Tower, a beast of a skyscraper also designed by Foster. If Chase’s HQ is anything like it i’ll take it.

Kuala Lumpur has an impressive skyline. They currently have at least one mega tall under construction.
nice although it looks a little like a rip off of IM Pei’s Bank of China tower.
That! 
I just hope that this tower is built.
I think that Chase’s new tower will be a big let down.
If we get something like that I wont mind. We need a black glass skyscraper to add to the horde of supertalls.
Looks like a taller 425 Park Avenue… but for some reason in the renders it doesn’t look like 1350ft. I’m very curious to see how the back of this building looks
Thanks for joining barryallen1337. 
Any news with this tower?
None as of yet.
You’re most welcome.
Happy to be around!
