Yeah this one. I took that photo of the rendering a while back.

Now is all grown up. I actually live in the neighborhood. I will try to take new photos soon.

Ha, me too... just a few blocks down! I've been seeing this one rise & couldn't find anything about it, so this thread is nice. This thing looks tall, too--50ish stories, maybe 600-700 feet? Will be a nice contrast to the condo tower next door (which doesn't look like condos at all, bleh... hopefully that one gets reclad soon).

btw, just googled it and found this: http://uwsdevelopments.wordpress.com...can-red-cross/

says it'll be 45 stories, 80/20 rental, but emporis gives 42 floors and 470'... hmmm, whatever, at least something tall is being built.

NYCDOB file says 42fl and 470 ft. Respectable height given the area.

Yawn.

I expect more out of Netherlands architecturally speaking.

Pretty nice.

The previous (and unbelievably beautiful) proposal for this site was going to be a 70+ story tower designed by Christian de Portzamparc with space at the base for the New York City Opera:

what's the location of the tower?

photoLith · #10 Posted: **Dec 5, 2008, 11:41 PM**

Right by the Lincoln Centre of the Performing Arts near the southwestern end of Central Park. Correct my if Im wrong.

anyone have any recent pics?

I'll take a photo this weekend if I get down there. I was by it on Sunday, and it doesn't look better with more glass on it. It's also very close to if not topped out. It's not a bad building, per se, just boring, and while I rarely buy the "out of place for the neighborhood" argument, I think it fits pretty well here.

So that's what they're building. I live nearby but don't venture west of Broadway in the 60s unless I'm going to a bike shop over that way.
