Frankly, this should have been done 15 years ago, now there’s the imminent threat of 175 Park obstructing its views to the West.
Every floor above 4, which is almost 45K sf, is better configured for resi than modern offices. Floor 5 has a huge terrace which would make a nice resi skylobby/amenities floor.
There’s going to be a lot of problems with the land lease which is wildly expensive. Even if they sell the lease these apartments would be very expensive for a subprime area.
Agreed. Cooper Union needs to cut a deal, otherwise Chrysler will be >50% vacant forever.
would be sick if they turn this into a true mixed use building– office, resi, hotel, restaurants, retail, a massive museum, schools, all spread throughout the bldg
JMHO but I think the only way to go here is luxury hotel.
Does anyone else have images of when they put lights on the spire of the Chrysler Building? It happened sometime in the 1960s I guess
Woah!! That’s incredible, I had no idea they did this back then
Am I corny for watching B1M
Not in the slightest 
I watch some of it too.
