SL Green to buy 11 Madison Ave for $2.6 Billion... With the skyrocketing values here in the city..
Madison Sq Park area is as hot as any place in NYC... wonder what the chances are for SL Green to bring this tower to what it was meant to be... An over 1454FT Art Deco Supertall...that would be awesome!!! Here's the NY Post Article today on the deal... Deal for Manhattan tower could be among biggest in NYC history By Lois Weiss May 18, 2015 | 8:22am Modal Trigger 11 Madison AvenuePhoto: Lois Weiss Trophy tower 11 Madison Ave. is set to become one of biggest real estate prizes ever in the city’s history. SL Green Realty Corp. has agreed to pay $2.6 billion for the 2.3 million square-foot Art Deco skyscraper overlooking Madison Square Park being sold by the Sapir Organization and minority partner CIM Group, The Post has learned. That would be the biggest single-building deal in the city and the second-highest price ever paid for an office tower after the $2.8 billion sale of the GM Building in 2008. The latter was part of a $3.95 billion package that included three other towers. The real estate investment trust, led by Chief Executive Marc Holliday and President Andrew Mathias, was set to sign a contract either Sunday night or Monday, sources said. SL Green is the city’s biggest landlord with 43.6 million square feet spanning 117 buildings. |

Just Imagine.
Imagine if this was finished 2 it's full height in the 30's. Would that mean a ripple effect & the old WTC, ST, Petronas, T-101, etc etc wood b taller then they r now? What could of bin.

Just like the Hearst Tower was eventually built, I have faith that this one will be done some day soon as well.
|
I would gladly sacrifice one of our planned supertalls (or a few of them) to see this built to its original glory.

What a fascinating cancelled project.

^ It is. I still dream of a fully built tower.

i wonder if there is a trade-off somewhere? like something that might not have gotten built had they built out the full monster tower?

SL Green posted this on IG

I wonder if it would even be possible to build this today as it was designed, with all that limestone. They would surely increase the size of the windows, maybe gradually with each setback so it conforms with the base.
Do they actually have the air rights anymore to complete it? Especially with that uninspired addition to the MetLife Tower's annex going up soon. |

I apologise, but you could not give little bit more information.

Met life didn't require the space.
If you have NY Times, you can read this right here: https://www.nytimes.com/1997/04/09/n...ig-floors.html Article back from 1997 that goes into Met Life North. |
