Could NYC’s next real estate boom see the rise of its first megatall skyscraper? Plans have been drawn…

seems a bit too generic to be an actual design proposal for something. It reminds me of this vision we’ve seen before. If it is legit I bet whoever runs that instagram account will be in trouble though lol.
Apparently it was designed by SOM
It’s on the site of the park central hotel, which is owned by LaSalle
Very intriguing. It’s nice to see that there are at least conceptual plans for a NYC megatall. The fact that a huge firm like SOM is involved indicates that this isn’t just some pie-in-the-sky vision. I hope that whatever gets built has a better design than this generic glass tube, though. When I picture NYC’s first megatall in my imagination, I always picture something with classic NY setbacks and a nice crown. This has neither so it’s disappointing to me from a design standpoint.
I wonder what that tall, slender building in the background of the rendering near Hudson Yards is. It looks way taller than 30 Hudson.
Yeah uh. Possible megatall with SOM involvment? Im not crying hopeful tears. You are
Thanks for joining DeSelby!
high resolution. The rendering was done by atchain. They also made a few PABT renderings along with some for high profile projects around the world. That being said, most are visions.

edit: oooooo
Yeah I know. Necroing this. Whatever.
LaSalle has sold this site (or rather, the company that bought them) to Highgate on a loan from Blackstone.
We haven’t heard about this project in a while but I do believe Park Central Hotel has the requirements for a Megatall in NYC should a developer choose to build one on this site. Obviously the design that was presented before was just a concept of what could be built and not a real proposal, but I do hope to see some more movement on this site later. Hopefully we get some more news in the coming years.
This would be the perfect site for Midtown’s tallest tower. And the existing hotel is kind of a dump, so hopefully the site gets redeveloped.
