I hope what manifests there is of a city changing status. Just an ideal location for another worlds tallest residential. I wonder how long CPT will hold that title… well, unless the POS Tower 5th actually rises… and by 6 ft lol.
I wish the adjacent “Tower 58” would be taken down too! it is truly hideous, and the 57th street side of it looks like a 70’s equivalent of a Gene Kaufmann hotel…
Wow! Between this, 175 Park, 343 Madison, and that Extell 8th avenue project, NYC is showing that a measly pandemic can’t stop the parade of supertalls!
If the Park Lane is taller than 1000 feet or so this building’s views are going to be screwed.
My educated guess is that SOM is the architect, partly because they seem to use the curve/slight torque motif a lot, but mostly because Sedesco worked with them on this little boutique office building, which I think is Sedesco’s only other ground-up development in NYC.
Great job! Looks slick. A third reason for me to suspect SOM is the architect: the wedge looks a lot like their other residential tower on the same street.
