I prefer this where Penn 15 is. That newest design has no elegance and is quite banal.

One way or another, Foster will get a building they designed built.

Your comment reminded me how Foster just got a building approved in Moscow and it looks just like the old two World Trade Center design.

That would look great at Queens Blvd and the LIE in Rego Park.

Expensive filler.

[HerrDavid]

Precisely. If only some effort had been put into creating a crown of some sort. (An illuminated rectangle doesn’t cut it for me.)

[IhateUSsteel]

Feels like they had an idea for a building, recycled it into this project, and had to improvise a taller version. Like what happened with 437 Madison

That top crown element if done right may be able to compete with those on 1 and 2 Manhattan West. After seeing what 270 Park is capable of (also a Foster tower), this one could end up having pretty cool LED display.

That’s not a Foster + Partners project. The firm left Russia in 2022.

Busy site, looks like they are mostly establishing the perimeter walls to prepare for excavation.
