i wonder if its neighbor the citypoint 3 tower might try to top it in height?
|
City Point Phase 3 will 'only' be about 700' tall.

As for the overall look, the residential tower is becoming the prominent buildings within the Brooklyn skyline, it is just a bit disappointing that we aren't seeing it grow as a commercial center. I am not saying that is good or bad, just a reflection of my personal feelings about the future of Brooklyn. |

Except that we are. Just around the corner from this site, Brooklyn's would-be tallest,a new office tower, is set to rise.... http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/showthread.php?t=213395 And a few blocks away, an even larger office tower is in the works at "Atlantic Yards".... http://skyscraperpage.com/forum/showthread.php?t=221082 Let's get these two office towers built and leased, and you will see more follow. But its doubtful you would have seen action on either one were it not for the excitement of development that has been sweeping accross Downtown Brooklyn, which while always lively, never had much of an evening life. The new residential towers will bring that and more. We see it happening in Long Island City as well, where long hoped for commercial development is set to rise (along with the many residential towers). |

God damn, what a stunning buildng this will become! :worship: And look at those materials!

All I have to say is...expert level work. I keep being blown away by this tower and by SHoP's work in general.
|
I'd almost say 9 DeKalb is on the level of 111 West 57th Street. A hell of an introduction into the super tall game for the borough. SHoP just knows NYC. They know what really works.
Glad its in Brooklyn because it won't be obstructed. Had this same design been proposed in Midtown, it would of been lost. Kinda like Verre. I only hope LIC see's something on this level. Not super impressed with the new tallest for LIC, but it will do for now. Hopefully more will come. |
Just a note but the pdf a couple of posts above has many more slides. Might take like 10 seconds to fully load, but it has a ton of slides. I just selected some I thought where cool.

YES!!!! Best news all week.
I believe this was the last thing holding up this project. I'm so happy the commission approved. Apple would make a great tenant for the historic bank! They can use the space (and can afford it), also this area has great foot traffic, which will only increase with the completion of City Point of course. |

This is 111 w. 57th all over again. Good design can win over what could potentially be some if the toughest critics. Now onward to financing, and we can watch this baby rise. |
It helps also that no one showed up to complain.

why doesn't this tower have a diagram yet?? its kind of starting to annoy me
|
NYC and Miami need the most diagram updates along with updating the database and maps section. NY should have much more than 5,944 high rises. For example, they state 93 high rises or skyscrapers u/c, but in reality, its more like 183. Not to mention 425 proposed high rises or skyscrapers. In the database, its listed as 143. :uhh:\
Note that its for skyscrapers/highrises only, as defined as 12 floors or 100 feet or greater. When we get into the midrises, its over a 1000 for this cycle. |
The surrounding midrise context really makes this thing look 50% taller than it actually is. The setbacks also really work well in this design.
