Thanks for reposting that @mtoltethys, it’s a good reminder for 007.
It wasn’t really an official proposal as it was just a feasibility study for the site, the height as shown is around ~ 930’, so not exactly a supertall, which could still happen in any scenario, it’s just completely up to how the massing is shaped and the program placement to how tall it will be. It’d be interesting to know what the parameters were for the feasibility study though.
Could the Roosevelt Hotel also become a landmark?
That’s been up for discussion since 2021, but the LPC never took it up. If another attempt is made to try and landmark it, I personally don’t think it would go through before the developers start to redevelop the site.
I agree. The LPC seems to have no interest in it. I think they do a terrible job. They let many beautiful old buildings get demolished.
They really should go crazier and more ambitious with the height. Something on the level of 1,700 to 1,800 feet higher.
Relative to the site’s dimensions, that design would be around 650’ tall. Relative to your 1900’ figure, it would be 630’ wide, which would be impossible to build in Manhattan because there are no such lots of those dimensions that exist. But Mackensen has said that drawing is not to scale.
I hope something amazing goes up here. Something like that concept I saw for 237 Park, even though I know that will probably never happen
please demo … and construction start of a new supertall.
I hope that this is landmarked though I’m not holding my breath.
Just a little pipe dream of mine-- how I would build a tower on this site while preserving as much of the Roosevelt’s historic facade and massing as possible. Heavily influenced by a bunch of architecture I like or buildings with similar contexts, e.g. 175 Park Ave, Hearst Tower, Tower Fifth, and Yamasaki’s Rainier Tower.
Looks great. Height is amazing, design is amazing, historical facade is preserved. We can hope the actual proposal is as good
Very nice, Xing!
Simple and stunning, I like it! Would definitely stand out in Philly
Build this…
Its just @ThreeWentDown’s concept, not an official proposal
Thank you very much everyone, I am glad you like my design!
It is just my fantasy and nothing official, but if any architecture firm or developer happens to be browsing YIMBY, feel free to nick any part of this concept (especially if it means saving the Roosevelt’s facade) 
Xing,
Can you add the new 350 Park to this?
can you please make more renderings?
