Unless the original renderings of the interior were incorrect or out dated, I would think that, at the very least it has an occupied floor at around 1000ft. If I remember correctly there was a render looking slightly down at 4WTC.
As long as its 1000.00 ft on the dot or a little over, I’m happy. If its 999.99 ft, I become sad.
Nah I’m jk, either way, it will be nice for the area. I can’t wait for newer renderings. I hope its at a level of quality that will complement 4 WTC. Btw, 4 WTC, is very underrated. I think its a beautiful tower, and it deserves more attention.
This is what I found on Curbed. Apparently its going to be 898 feet tall. Starchitect Rafael Viñoly Discusses His Biggest NYC Projects: Video - Curbed NY
Still not convinced this is 900’. That 898’ figure is outdated, at least iirc. The current floor count is 88, so this should be a supertall.
New Valley lists the floor count at 72, which sounds more realistic for a 900+ foot tower (they also list the height at 900+ feet) http://www.newvalleyre.com/condominium/property/125-greenwich-street/3311591/landing
I wish Shvo delivered the original plan. Eh, but he’s not really somebody who will live up to hype. Unlike Stern or Barnett who make it happen.
I mean, with Steinway, it’s just out there. A whole building is a rendering.
@hunser Well I don’t know thats what I found, I want it to be taller , but we’ll see.
yeah, no worries nyc1. This project has given me some headaches …
-
conflicting height figures. It’s really a pain in the ass if I may say so. From 856’/898’/900’+/1,000’+ to 1,356’ … I’ve seen it all. The Shvoman should really release some official info!
-
I’m not really sold on the design. Ok, the previous one with that ugly spire was even worse, but the current(?) one ist still meh. Again, we have no official rendering so far.
-
construction speed is nothing but slow. It’s like watching the tower rise in slow motion.
And some other points which I won’t go into detail right now. But 1. - 3. is certainly enough for making this project my least favourite NYC supertall tower right now.
In watching that video, I tbink that this tower will turn out beautifully. The rounded edges on the west facade look great, as do the outdoor areas that separate the segments!

Yea, the video was very helpful, as it made me very hopeful. I hope the tower turns out like that model.
VG, how tall is Moinian’s W Hotel across the street? 125 Greenwich looks like it’s twice as tall.
According to emporis, the W is 630’ tall.
Is that a non modified rendering of 125 G? Is that original?
I don’t know where that rendering came from. Someone posted it here. That’s clearly the most recent design. Based upon the relationship to the W across the street, 125 Greenwich looks to be around 1,300’ tall.
Yea, it does appear to be very tall! Hmmm.
I would be beyond thrilled if ~1,200-300’
IDK, I think 1,050 or so is more reasonable. The rendering is a bit exaggerated it seems, I’d go by the model previously posted that shows the WTC in context.
It should be at least 1,000’, and it’s amazing how many 1,000’+ towers Gotham will have soon!
Yea, that’s kinda my expectation for best case scenario in terms of height.
We shall see!
Here’s some pics of the model from video:
You crack me up Rob.
And I did this render edit @Vertical_Gotham
