NEW YORK | 655 Madison Ave. | FT | ? FLOORS

Would these be the possible building dimensions of the project?


It’s a shame that only a 37-storey building is planned here, it would have been nicer if at least an 800-foot skyscraper had been planned.

Even an interesting façade could make the project less interesting, as a supertall is planned nearby. Would it also be possible to only partially demolish this building in order to build the remaining floors on the remaining base?

Why would either thread be deleted or combined? they are separate projects. They aren’t even on the same block.

What does this have to do with deleting the thread though? Do you only care about a project if it’s only a “super tall”?

007 why don’t you start your own website where you can run everything. But until then, that ain’t gonna fly here

007 please keep 625 Madison Avenue out of this thread, it is a separate project.

Could you @Alemel please post your current picture of the building here?

„ Extell bought 35, 37 and 39 East 60th Street from Sol Goldman’s Solil Management for $103 million, property records show. The assemblage is next to the 200,000-square-foot office building that Extell is planning to demolish to make way for a 62-unit residential tower and commercial space.“

Exactly. They’re a couple of blocks from the park. They’re not being realistic.

Work is very slow here as well. I’m unsure of where in the timeline the new lots that were just recently bought out by Extell will be demo’ed in relation to 655.
