The concept of this apartment building is interesting (not that the idea is new to me) but I haven’t seen this very often in NY where the apartment is almost like a hotel and has furnishings already and room service. I’ve seen this more often done in condo’s and higher end apartments.
I’m wondering what’s going on with it’s commercial tower counterpart, I haven’t seen any new news from Related or anything. Probably waiting for a tenant like everyone else.
I assume you thought it was a different building than the other building part of this development? Lol
Taking into consideration that the article says that the building will be larger than what the permit is describing (25 floors, 750,000sqft, 450’ tall) at 1.3 million square feet, I believe that the render JC posted is still a fairly accurate depiction of what will be built, size and height wise.
I dont know if the whole thread name should be changed though, since The Set is only refering to the apartments on the upper portion of the tower. There is also senior living, Coterie, in the podium/lower half of the tower.
Does anyone know why there’s a prohibition against placing the street address in the title of the thread? I would think that would be preferable to some nonsense marketing material like “The Set”, but that’s just me.
I didn’t know there was anything against having the street addresses be the title, I actually also prefer it, I think it works better for buildings like this one that have multiple functions inside of them that don’t refer to the entire building.
I think it’s fine if the building actually has an adopted name/nickname or one single entity is in the building, like for The Spiral or The Eugene, but not when there’s multiple things going on inside.
well its up to you guys as the moderator team. Personally I feel it less confusing if there’s an associated name to use that over a street address where in Manhattan there can often be an address listed at either a street or the avenue.
For example, this lot can be both 511 west 35th street and 451 Tenth Avenue.
