I hope that they build the hotel/condo. The taller, more slender tower looks much better in my opinion. It would be nice if KPF tweaks the design to add a crown.
Great article by YIMBY!

The taller version would be a 21st century GE Building. Now we might have in the next decade the Grand Hyatt as a 21st century a Chrysler… where is the 21st century Empire State Building?

I’ve been hoping for a while that Prince Alwaleed bin Talal al-Saud builds his mile high tower here in The City.

It’s a matter of time before the Qataris do something at their huge full-block site in Times Square.

Built 790 seventh Avenue tower
The Qataris are obviously flush with cash and will want to make a statement, much like Al Smith back in 1931.
790 7th Avenue is a relatively small block because of its Times Square location.
A tower of 900,000 square feet could theoretically be VERY tall. Perhaps a world’s tallest.
432 Park Avenue is 412,000 square feet.

Great photo, JC.
This building — hidden on 46th — is gorgeous. It would be the historic star in 99% of US cities.

Those 2 (or 3) party walls haven’t seen daylight in a century.

I hope the buyer of this beautiful building across the street from Extell’s site restores it. At a minimum, I’m pleased that the garish Oakley sign will come down.

P.S.: Has anyone seen how beautifully the TGI Fridays building at 604 Fifth is being restored? It looks great.

Do we know the final height of this?
