Is the proposal to include an elevator- bus garage within the base of the project still active? This would be a big deal in reducing traffic in the Lincoln Tunnel.

A well know NY developer is developing this 1,600,000 SF new high-rise luxury, mixed-use development. The development is near the Javits Convention Center
and adjacent to the entrance of the Lincoln Tunnel in New York’s Hudson Yards district. The 770 foot tall development is comprised of two 60-story towers atop
a 5-story retail and parking podium on Manhattan’s burgeoning Far West Side. The 600 foot tall towers include 1,350 residential units totaling 1,000,000 SF above
a retail/parking podium that includes 180,000 SF of retail/commercial space accommodating big-box tenants that will provide convenience and subsequently enhance
the residential attractiveness. One tower also contains 175 units of corporate housing totaling 175,000 SF.

Even though I generally prefer taller over shorter towers, the "frame" as I like to call it, is fantastic - a great complement to the built out HU complex.

It would have been a nice addition. BTW, do we know who is the architect of this development?

It would be a nice anchor to the northern end of the Hudson Yards. However, the earlier renders do like like everything else that has been going up in that area. Acceptable, but nothing to grab the eye the way the other renders do.

Once again, this "it is/is not" banter has me confused, as the article posted above makes the "pi" design for this tower a fait accompli i.e. official.
I *dont* wanna see a third pair of twins so closely located to each other in Midtown.

We're still not exactly sure who the architect is. There could have been multiple firms working on the project at one time.

I really like this, the more I look at it. I would have preferred this version...

Whichever one they decide, I hope they will still build that underground bus storage garage.

The amount of fuel saved, reduction in air pollution and traffic just by those buses not having to make unnecessary round trips back is too great and too beneficial to the region to not do.

And if you've ever been behind those NJ transit buses, then you'll know how dirty their exhaust is.

I agree. The commercial space should be substituted for parking spots specially for PABT buses. Less air pollution for those folks.

Also, I have a hard time believing that a retail store that requires so much space would lease space here. Its neighbors are a bus depot and a fedex shipping facility.

Any height projections based on the 60 floor figure?

Awesome design. Hoping for the best here. Could result in a fantastic new observation deck, and a new reason for me to get back to NYC. That's never a bad thing.

It was shown earlier in the thread. I think two 780-foot towers.

The twin towered arrangement is the one Silverstein is going with, and there is no bus garage planned for this site.
