I definitely noticed that building when I walked by. Its quite impressive.

Great video. The amount of construction in NY is amazing!

Foster and Partners did not design the WTC, but they did design 425 Park, many famous buildings across the world, and a lot of work for Apple, ranging from the most iconic Apple stores around the world to the Apple HQ in Cupertino. Norman Foster was Steve Jobs' favorite architect.

One of few modern buildings that looks rly cool.

2:26 - - yes - you’re right

I think this skyscraper copy’s more of the stienway tower on how it un evenly becomes skinner at the top

You have the wrong title on the video. It should say 350 Park Avenue.

I think that empty lot shown at the end will be a joint project between 2 big name developers (who ostensibly are doing fine in NY currently). One could be Rudin off the top of my head. I could be wrong on this too but if I recall correctly the lot is actually two separate adjoining properties and they are to be merged so to speak in the joint project.

this, 175 park avenue and wtc 2 will be a sight to see

The black building behind this is part of the 350 dev. Look how far to the West the core is in the renderings. That's because the core will be mostly within the footprint of Rudin's black building to the rear. Rudin and Vornado came together with Citadel to make 350 possible. You underestimate the size of this development; the lower trading floors will be *big* (50K+ sf?). The only buildings on the block (bound by 52nd, Park, 51st, Madison) that aren't part of the project are the prewar buildings fronting Madison Ave.

The renderings look like the Park Avenue viaduct (elevated roadway around Grand Central) is removed. That seems like a bad idea to ruin Park Avenue.

Just let that sink in...the Original Hotel looked way better than that sad plain glass conversation. It reminds me of that ugly yellow building in Las Vegas. Maximum efficiency over soul and character. I'm glad there's something better proposed, but that fact I just stated gives me dread for the future. Too bad it's so close to Chrysler though, I'm sure zoning and bedrock probably limits what sites they could choose. Just a thought.

Oh wow I’m loving your channel

Thank you for this 💪

I don't hate 5he building but it does not belong there.

Another grotesque monster despite the fact that the office vacancy rate in NYC topped out at 18.1% in the first quarter of 2024. NYC doesn't need this visual abortion. It should never get built.

Money laundering. No one can, even millionares, afford or choose not to afford this travesty. It will be 75% vacant permanently.

This is awesome I would like to be the construction manager in charge of this!

Dude, Seagram was finished in 1958.

Hopefully Chelsea piers goes or gets a very big update

Will be happy to see the whole project finished and the rail yard covered. Feel a bit bad for those who will eventually lose their unobstructed view of the river.

Three bridges over the road are very cool

The chrome accents have an art decoish feel. Need to lean into it

I want to see a building taller than the freedom tower

Leave Hell’s Kitchen as is

Love your videos. I love seeing this perspective of upcoming skyscrapers. 👍

I must correct you....."skycrapers" will NOT be supported by a concrete platform. They will have their own foundation (via pile driving) connected to bedrock and will rise "through" and/or around the platform. For skyscrapers that might rise above the actual tracks, pile driving will take place between the various sets of tracks as the foundation/pilings must be connected to bedrock.

I would think the diagonal bracing would be part or the steel skeleton. Like the Hancock building in Chicago.

why the goverment of NYC they clean this Trach what is porblem ?

A super tall mixed use tower with big residential/hotel components would be the best addition to Fifth Avenue here. It is also safe to say that such an undertaking would reduce financial risk.

Wynn is a winner they got the best ny casino proposal

Think they had to use the CB building due to 'air rights'. Could be wrong though.

Beautiful historic buildings replaces by oppressive blank box. Super sad.

I'm surprised NYC isn't called the city of shadows because of all the buildings blocking the sunlight from shining down. I thought the office thing was ending in America.

"The largest building to be demolished - I mean, other than the Twin Towers." What the fuc?! The Twin Towers were attacked by terrorists and destroyed... oh... also KILLING AROUND 3500 PEOPLE. In the future, you can stop at "the largest building to be demolished." No need to qualify it... what happened to the Twin Towers wasn't the same thing. I can assure you.

Yay, another upload! Love this approach to construction news. 👍

I'm glad they're destroying this smaller "modern" building rather than the old historical tenements, they should keep doing this, but the area next to the Chrysler Building is honestly a bad spot to put it, although they could put it somewhere else and demolish a smaller modern building and restore the original facade of this building whilst not blocking the views of the Chrysler Building.

Beautiful tower, but should shift to maintain view corridors to the Chrysler. Sadly we don't have view corridor code like in London. We do have them for the harlem/east rivers though apparently, go figure lol. Love the structural columns at the base btw

ugh that going to start during 2026 so it probably going to be fully finished by 2030 🫤 that 6 more years to wait 😢

it's bad location blocks the Chrysler building and block the observation deck from one Vanderbilt

I hope you do more of these of other buildings. Even ones that are finished already.

Absolutely impressive. I've seen the construction site a few times and I have to say it went pretty quickly. Beautiful building.

Thanks for this video I have been searching for more info on 175 pk av I really would like to see this project happen.

Terrible location fit the new tower. Should give the Chrysler Building some breathing room.

Lousy video - period!

good video

Really nice updates, keep the videos & footage coming!

Great video! I hope that RXR gets a tenant soon, so that demo of the Hyatt can commence.

What an unproportionate mess. Kitschy all the way

you are thinking of Lever house - predates Seagram and right across the street
