Do they tend to recycle the glass?
It’s my understanding (though without personal knowledge) that large demo outfits recycle as much as they can to reduce demo costs, with steel at the top of the list if it’s a steel frame building.

I’d hate to own a unit in 520 facing this new building
The no-action massing makes 520 Park look like it was always meant to be part of the base of this building. I would love for RAMSA to build this in a matching style.
I like 520 but i dont think we need a massive clone right next door. lol
with action>>>>>
Yes please the current skinnies are enough
more skinnies hehe
I admire Extell’s play here. They suggest they would build the as-of-right version taller than the with-action! They want the squatter, bigger version and this is an implicit threat the shadows will be worse if they don’t get their way.
I personally dont care for the height, I just think the massing is much nicer/proportional
The as-of-right model is intended to be nearly as offensive to its neighbors as possible:
Taller and doesn’t set back from its neighbors, only from the street.
I agree though, this massing is much superior and we might get an interesting flair beyond the boxy-ness when we get a render.
