I hate to say it but I don't think I like what Goldman Sachs is going to do to the skyline. I like the building itself but it either needs to be taller or shorter than Amex.

That could be me talking !
Except that I wouldn't like it shorter.
And I'm not sure I like it a lot.

I think that the curve is such a great finishing feature to the Battery Park City skyline that it really doesnt affect the design if its shorter, taller, or the same height.

I like the inclusion of the Calatrava tower. Gehry's tower will have some sort of crown at the top. Being in the 1,000 ft range (at the moment) and not surrounded by other towers, it will be a very visible landmark....

Fantastic job, really. Any way you could maybe add the 3 and 400 hundred footers for the Site 5B and 5C sites (southern end of tribeca, on the West Side Highway)? Don't mean to be pushy, you just do a hell of a job knarfor!

To everyone: What other serious proposals and buildings are there that I have not drawn into that. I know of a few, but help me out with some links to webpages and threads here at the site.

The 1 NY Place remains an option - its Downtown's largest remaining site (1.3 msf) outside of the WTC. It's likely that any development there would remain residential, considering the space being built at the WTC. But you could put a rendering of the old design in for kicks. From that particular angle, it would appear in between the Woolworth and Calatrava tower, or the Woolworth and AI...

10 Barclay Street is another perfect candidate.

Is that Brighton Beach and Coney Island way in the distant background? And if so, what's that land mass beyond it to the right... Atlantis?
Sandy Hook and the Jersey shore....
