New York City will eventually have 100 supertalls, far surpassing anywhere else on Earth. The market is simply white hot. Millennials and Gen Z absolutely love New York City.

Before you laugh- September 12th, 2001. There existed only 2 supertalls on the island of Manhattan- Chrysler and Empire. There were serious questions. Would NYC build tall again? There were a few years of malaise, but the momentum is now virtually unstoppable. ---

Midtown East will only add to this. Although I would really love if we see more in Brooklyn. Hopefully 9 DeKalb will be what One57 was to 57th Street. In a way, by osmosis, Jersey City is way overdue. ---

It’s gonna happen. Hopefully Adams is a pro-development mayor and the crazy NIMBY influence can be lessened somewhat. ---

Surprisingly it’s looking like he is. Which is good. If his red carpet via the DOB for development jargon is anything to go by. He also, when the Real Deal had their conference, spoke highly of real estate, so that’s always a good sign. Now he just needs to step it up on crime prevention but we won’t get into that. On super talls, the race is on to a 100! If anything, Adams is more hindered by the borough presidents in Queens and Harlem City Council officials. But I do believe he is very much pro-development and a good force in that respect. ---

We’re already on track for 45 - 50 completed or under construction for 2035. I imagine residential will have to lead the way to 100. Maybe some supertalls along the waterfront in both Manhattan and Brooklyn. Maybe we could even get that red hook redevelopment from a while back. ---

Yeah the Red Hook can be a big one. I believe the success of that will bank on transit expansions but the potential is there. Yeah a bulk IMO will be of mixed use. Unless the city starts encouraging market rate units along the waterfront or near transit that are at a minimum of a 1000 units, which on a tangent, is something I’d like to see. As a comparison. if we look at some of the projects within Miami-Dade, many of those are high unit counts, 800-1000 units, and the frequency is up there… now… translate this to NYC and the potential is there. Smaller footprints but a good way to one get supertalls and two, to aid with the supply issue. The city can do it, it just needs to encourage more of it. Also getting rid of air rights and relaxing the zoning in some areas to allow for these units to rise. ---

Yup yup. Hopefully we see a boom of them. It’ll be great for the city. Lots more units. Plus it will have the added benefit of making NYC look so much bigger, just like the Brooklyn Tower has done. Also I like how tall the ones we’re getting are. Not just a bunch of 984’ buildings. ---

100 Supertalls is just incredible to think of. The skyline is the city’s ever-changing face, always aging and growing. Now I am just praying that we get Two WTC in the next 5 or so years to fill that gap from 1 to 3 WTC. I look forward to that day like most of us. 😁 ---

I guess as of now 350 Park is barely going to be the second tallest in NYC: 1. 350 Park Avenue- 1,586 ft 2. 175 Park Avenue- 1,580 ft 3. Tower Fifth- 1,556 ft 4. Central Park Tower- 1,550 ft 5. 111 West 57th Street- 1,428 ft [Next page](https://forum.newyorkyimby.com/t/new-york-countdown-to-100-supertalls/21651.md?page=2)
