Would be funny to bait Trump into building the tallest skyscraper in the world here if they name it after him.

they’d have to realign the configuration of LGA runways for a skyscraper to be placed here

DeBlob did what he could with the overhead walkways and stairs to the platforms with Cuomo fighting him every inch of the way.

i agree with her sentiment but also the oneLIC proposal she supports wouldnt even have 30 percent of the units affordable, and we know most of the “affordable” units would be market rate and not deeply affordable

The Sunnyside Yard project is Amtrak’s fifth – and largest – major maintenance facility to advance into major construction over the past two years, following Philadelphia, Seattle, Washington, and Boston.
That’s great and all, but it seems like it will be difficult to deck over? Are there no guidelines in max height that don’t preclude eventually building an entire new neighborhood over this yard?

Same thought.
My best guess is this sketch rendering isn’t to scale and doesn’t accurately depict the height of the building, or the project is being planned for a lower grade than the current which that shadowy ridge sort of ham-handedly suggests. It is hard to believe they would not be coordinating here to make this structure compatible with a future deck as well as required columns/foundations.
