The development in New York is starting to get out of hand (in a good way!). Yesterday, JDS Development’s proposal passed a final hurdle for city approval. The New York City Landmarks Commission approved the 1,350 ft. building yesterday. The super-tall super-skinny structure will be on the same block as Gary Barnett’s billionaire tower, 157 West 57th Street. Here are some pictures taken from the Curbed article.
On a side note…I truly am beginning to think we are entering a golden age of development here. Between the World Trade Center, The Ghery Building, 432 Park Avenue, One57, and now this project, this list of 1,000+ Ft. tall buildings in New York City is really going to be reshaping our skyline, into a skyline of the future. Soon, the most famous skyline in the world, will be transformed into a sci-fi version of reality. Hopefully this development is sustainable rather than a bubble ready to pop.
