CitizenM Budget Luxury Hotel Rising Near Times Square Quote:

I'm not liking all this. I haven't been liking the Times Square Redevelopment since 1998. They had a major opportunity to replace parking lots, and beautiful old buildings, with magnificent architecture. While most of the office buildings haven't disappointed (11 TS, 10 TS, BofA Tower etc.) The Hotels have been the most second rate pieces of trash ever.

Very lame. Fortunately, it will be obscured when the adjacent property on B'Way and W 50th St is redeveloped.
|
Looks just like another McSam special. :(
|
You'll never even know it's there once completed - this will be engulfed.

Needs to be moved to u/c!
Today, full update: http://newyorkyimby.blogspot.com/201...otel.html#more http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-CJWfj7ZE0N...2+12.35.25.jpg |

Midtown is absolutely booming right now, and I can't imagine how many new projects will be rising/completed in another five years--off the top of my head, those actually u/c or imminently so right now include this, One57, 250 W55th, 237 W54th, 1715 Bway, the Hyatt on 45th, the Gem Tower, 1045 6th Ave (I think that's the addy? the one catty corner to Bryant Park), 57th street Pyramid, 432 Park, and several other budget hotels in the west 30s. |
Seriously, I fail to understand why city planning can't mandate through zoning that buildings respect the city's street walls. It is getting out of hand.
|
^Agreed. Its irks the hell out of me to. Its obviously a product of the cities' FAR zoning formula, but you would think there would be a common sense amendment that would prevent unsightly party walls from being exposed. To be honest I think the urban fabric can tolerate some structures' facades deviating from the streetwall property line, and dare I say sometimes it can be a good thing to mix things up a bit a break a long monotonous line BUT it's the exposure and apparent disregard of the neighboring buildings sides that drives me bonkers. I've always wondered why developers/property owners of new buildings could not come into a simple agreement to "wrap" a neighbors unsightly abutting walls with a material that is spec'd for the building under construction. In other words, integrate the neighbors newly exposed walls due to setback, with the architecture of the new structure.

oh lord :hell:

It's growing slowly... I just want to see how this will be your glass.
|
I am curious how this will be modular. I wonder if they'll be loading hotel rooms in then slapping up a curtain wall. Hmm.
|
this one grew in the last few weeks..... :)
I have "mixed emotions" but for some reason i think this little tower will be HOT! http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7102/7...c10641f0_b.jpg IMG_4843 copy by Ceva321, on Flickr . http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8022/7...e2815b41_b.jpg IMG_4842 copy by Ceva321, on Flickr . http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5457/7...f3bb46e2_b.jpg IMG_4841 copy by Ceva321, on Flickr . http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8007/7...6584e01c_b.jpg IMG_4840 copy by Ceva321, on Flickr . http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8028/7...c1712cb5_b.jpg IMG_4839 copy by Ceva321, on Flickr |

That's not the cladding, is it?
Ghastly building, with exposed concrete sides. I hope they will cover them somehow. |
