I really don’t expect much here. I think that a hotel with rental apartments above it is the most to hope for, and I’d be surprised if it were taller than 800 feet. It would be nice to have a supermarket at the base.

How could it be 1120 feet but only 40 stories?

600,000 sq feet of office. Small floor plates with high ceilings

Really high ceilings. That averages out to almost 30 feet per floor.

Observation floors+ mechanical floors+ lobby floors (also if it is indeed mixed use there maybe a sky lobby separating the programming)

I like this project and all but I’m not much of a fan of the design. Any chance of a re-design?
No design has been released yet. That cigar-like tower was just a concept by an architect unrelated to this development.
Edit: this is what I’m referring to.

Those tacky holdouts on 8th ave will class the place up!
I always wonder why they don’t build new theaters for Broadway, I mean I know they’re protective of their interests and all, but sooner or later big theater sized sites like this one wont exist!
Oh jeez…I knew this would look weird based on what we knew about the floor count and height, but I wasn’t expecting this.
From SSP. Apparently these diagrams are from before Extell acquired the rest of the properties on the block and bumped the height, so this will end up looking a bit different from what’s shown here.
NYC’s version of London’s Tulip? I sure hope it looks better than that, but I’m not optimistic based on those diagrams.

(Update from Previous Deleted Post) This is where midtown can really push westward with a one-two punch.
I would start by basically building this tower as your typical, tried and true NYC fare, your architectural baseline/bread&butter.
I would follow that up by coming in with that super highly-experimental, bleeding-edge tower that would knock your socks off!
This building is really beautiful. Sexy.
