the name for this tower is “the Set” There is supposed to be a phase 2 which will be an office tower.

I dont know if the whole thread name should be changed though, since The Set is only refering to the apartments on the upper portion of the tower. There is also senior living, Coterie, in the podium/lower half of the tower.

Phase Two
Does anyone know why there’s a prohibition against placing the street address in the title of the thread? I would think that would be preferable to some nonsense marketing material like “The Set”, but that’s just me.

I didn’t know there was anything against having the street addresses be the title, I actually also prefer it, I think it works better for buildings like this one that have multiple functions inside of them that don’t refer to the entire building.
I think it’s fine if the building actually has an adopted name/nickname or one single entity is in the building, like for The Spiral or The Eugene, but not when there’s multiple things going on inside.

With the address in the title, I find it much clearer than just the name. And yes Phase Two has its own topic.

well its up to you guys as the moderator team. Personally I feel it less confusing if there’s an associated name to use that over a street address where in Manhattan there can often be an address listed at either a street or the avenue.
For example, this lot can be both 511 west 35th street and 451 Tenth Avenue.
I like both the address and the name in the title.

The only thing with this one is that “The Set” isn’t referring to the name of the whole building, just the apartments in a portion of the building.

The design of the top section makes the vertical terracotta bands work better. It may be the angle, but I like how they get thinner.
I like to see the address as well. Had I seen it was Hudson Yards I wouldn’t have clicked on it.
Well what we’ve done before was have the address in parentheses. So “The Set (451 Tenth Ave)”. That worked well.

I changed to that. Hope everyone is ok with it now?

I like it. It adds some much needed variety to the area.

wow, what happened here today?
NEW YORK (AP) — A fire on the roof of a 44-story luxury apartment building sent plumes of dark smoke into the New York City skyline on Thursday.
The fire in the Hudson Yards mixed-use development on Manhattan’s west side was first reported at about 11:30 a.m., the city fire department said. It was declared under control about 40 minutes later.
About 80 firefighters responded to the blaze. There were no reports of injuries, a fire department spokesperson said.
The fire was on the rooftop of a luxury apartment tower called The Set, where an unfurnished one-bedroom apartment rents for $7,400, according to the building’s website.
The fire marshal was investigating the cause of the fire.
