Here is an interesting human/infrastructure observation. The infrastructure zoning requirements to purchase the ‘air rights’ of any adjacent property is a form of “social distancing” for tall buildings. I can see some general correlation; comparing the space between the people in the field and the buildings on the skyline. People as well as buildings all need a little space between them: it is a ‘quality of life’ issue. That is my sermon of the day - enjoy.
Yet another row of cladding on the west side of the crown going up. Essential permission slip still only describes removing the cantilever scaffold. Can’t imagine Extell would go rogue-- so whats up with this project?
Also, heard Nordstrom might have been looted but not sure if it was CPT or the place across the street. Either way, it’s a shame… these are nice blocks.
Wow. The first shot I’ve seen of 220 CPS looking fully complete. Also like the same view I witnessed back in August 2019
220 CPS is so gorgeous looking. We need more towers like this in the city.
WOW! Can you imagine that with the new JPMC tower in it? Hopefully, more supertalls (e.g., 350 Park and Hyatt) will rise too.
Despite the destruction of gorgeous buildings by “So Low,” et al., and the insanity of Communist politicians (who shall go un-named), NY is still the GREATEST city in America by a very wide margin.
This building is dominant and hopefully a sign of things to come.
THE CAPITAL OF THE FREE WORLD.
The benefit of having all that ‘natural’ light entering the interiors is enormous: never having to ‘turn-on’ the lights during the day is a big plus. Seeing all these interior photos, I now understand why most of the architectural designs for new residential buildings have ‘oversized’ windows.
The choice of small punch windows on more traditional building designs look attractive from the outside; but have the effect of leaving the interiors in semi-darkness during the day.
Well done with the basic build-out of the walls/ceilings/floors; nothing excessive, a blank canvas - and an interior designers’ dream job.
The interiors look pedestrian compared to its peers 111 W 57th and 220 CPS. Those look like boutique developments.
