The hotel has been moved down a few blocks to 35th Street. No designs released yet.

But the hotel could easily be moved elsewhere along 11th Avenue and be near the Convention Center. Also, its not clear that this would be the only large hotel in the area, as other developers are making the dash to the Westside...(from the westside thread)





A little more on that...

What is the tall tapered tower to the right in the rendering?

Not an actual designed tower, just a generic rendering of one of the large towers planned for that stretch of the westside near the convention center.

Another look at those towers:

More on Silverstein's new twin towers from an article in today's Daily News:

Quote:
On the corner of 11th Ave., World Trade Center leaseholder Larry Silverstein has dug up and removed 41,000 cubic yards of contaminated soil. His cleanup project should be done next month, said Lori O'Connell, a state Department of Environmental Conservation spokeswoman.

In December, he'll start foundation work for 57-story twin towers with a total of 1,350 rental apartments, said his spokesman Bud Perrone. They'll be completed in 2009.
Great news.

And completed before any of his World Trade Center towers. Yet these buildings are under the radar.

LARRY'S NEW PLAN
SILVERSTEIN PLOTS WEST SIDE TOWERS


SILVER DOLLARS: Larry Silverstein and his daughter, Lisa, are planning a huge $917.6 million pair of apartment towers in Midtown.





November 8, 2006

LARRY Silverstein will soon be developing another set of twin towers.

This time, however, the project, worth nearly $1 billion, will not rise from the World Trade Center site downtown but instead farther north at his River Place site between 41st and 42nd streets near the Javits Convention Center.

Located exactly at 600 W. 42nd St., Silverstein's $917.6 million project will involve constructing a common base that will serve as the foundation for two 57-story towers.

Inside will be 1,157 residential units, 18,277 feet of commercial space and a 194-car underground garage.

A Silverstein spokesperson declined to comment.

Silverstein is applying to use $656 million in Multi-Family Housing Revenue Bonds from the New York State Housing Finance Agency in return for offering 20 percent of the housing units to lower income families.

His daughter, Lisa Silverstein, has been overseeing this development for many years.

A snaking tower with Hudson River and city views was previously planned for the most westerly portion of the site, but development got held up by Gov. George Pataki, who was leaning on Silverstein to make the land the site of an official Javits Center hotel.

Condemnation plans for a sky bridge over 41st Street that was to connect to a new hotel to an expanded Javits Center had begun but weren't finished in part because the additional expansion of the convention center has run into roadblocks.

Chief among them is figuring out where to relocate an MTA bus garage that currently takes up the block between 40th and 41st street.

If thats the Atelier tower next to the Silversteins twins , thn these towers will be about 250 meters tall. Atelier is 145.7 meters tall and these look double that (do the math). Add them to the list of scrapers in midtown being developed. LOL

^That's just simple perspective making them look that much taller than Atelier. I'm guessing these will come in at over 600ft, -200m.

But they will have amazing presence.

They are taller than the Atelier, but about the same height as it's future neighbor, also 57-stories...
