^ If they want a slice of Suburbia, they could always just go to Suburbia.
The geothermal energy at the Bushwick hotel will come from around 60 bore holes that will go around 300 to 500 feet deep and contain the geothermal pipes. Those pipes will all connect to a larger pipe that then runs to heat pumps in the hotel, creating a geothermal loop, Liberis said.
The closed loop uses the constant heat of the water underground (which stays at around 55 degrees year-round) for cooling in summer and heating in winter by conducting a heat transfer through the geothermal pipes and heat pumps. In summer, heat is pulled from hot air in the hotel and transferred into the ground to cool the hotel. In winter, heat is drawn from the ground to warm the hotel.
They will always be apart of the âBronxâ. Do you know the first connotation that comes to mind when you, or I, hear âBronxâ? Urban. Density. That entire borough on its own is extremely densified and massively urban. I donât know why they hate progression. What do they expect? Put some eight-story buildings up and call it a day. Manhattan, Kansas is not where weâre at.
I canât believe that literal NIMBYâs can derail entire development proposals just because itâs âout of contextâ. Youâre in the largest city in America, and one of the largest cities in the world. Get a grip. Anyways. Thatâs my TED talk. Lol
Praise the Lawd!
Iâve wanted that pos to come down for years. Hopefully, Gary will acquire the little pos next to it with T Mobile.
How many stories will this one have? 86th street area should be littered with tall developments as it is a prime location @mcart
Most developments on the UES arenât that tall.
No idea.
^Another massive one on Park? A reno? Or just a switch of hands?
SL green is just buying a 25% stake.
SL Green Realty found two joint venture partners to help it acquire its previously-announced purchase of 450 Park Ave., a deal that has now closed.
The ownership group consists of institutional investors from South Korea and Israel. SL Green retained a 25.1% interest in the property and will oversee leasing and management of the property on behalf of the partnership.
This one isnât getting redeveloped any time soon.
From street level the buildings on the UES look massive, somewhatâŚ
⌠Until you figure out that the majority of them are 27-30 stories tall.
Where: Can I find building permits (for new developments, buildings, etc.)? Is there a city website?
renovation work on the Octagonal Towers at Central Park North and Fifth. Huge improvement over the redbrick, even if a bit sterile.
