  • A – SMOKE and MIRRORS (The United Nations Building to Grand
    SMOKE AND MIRRORS (The United Nations to Grand Central Station) ____________________________________________ At the edge of the world sits a Tower. And this Tower is no structure of brick and mortar, but a kind of illusion; a trick of the light, flickering electric blue in and out of sight; a coalescing of vapors; of misplaced goodwill. The kings and queens of the world attend here, pronouncing PEACE, while raining armaments on those of their own, or those of their own they believe to be not. But still the pilgrims come in the thousands from the Terminal seeking an audience, uninformed or disregarding of this Congregation’s inadequacy. Through miles of devastated landscape they come with their fragile appeals in their hands, towards the Tower shimmering like a mirage in the distance; and the mediaeval brick city-fortress that guards its flanks. Around them, light and shadow play upon pillars of glass and steel, reflected one upon the other so reality is indiscernible from reflection; so the pilgrim, his eyes confused and diverted, does not realise that there is in fact, nothing behind the smoke and mirrors; that this entire landscape of grandiose ideals is insubstantial. Ting 8 1 – The United Nations Secretariat Tower, completed in 1952 and designed by an international committee of architects, including Le Corbusier, Oscar Niemeyer, amongst others.

  • True to the City's Teeming Nature, a New Breed of Multi-Family High Rises
    BY MEI ANNE FOO MAY 14, 2016 True to the city’s teeming nature, a new breed of multi-family high rises is fast cropping up around New York – changing the face of this famous urban jungle forever. New York will always be known as the land of many towers. From early iconic Art Deco splendours such as the Empire State Building and the Chrysler Building, to the newest symbol of resilience found in the One World Trade Center, there is no other city that can top the Big Apple’s supreme skyline. Except itself. Tall projects have been proposed and built in sizeable numbers over recent years. The unprecedented boom has been mostly marked by a rise in tall luxury residential constructions, where prior to the completion of One57 in 2014, there were less than a handful of super-tall skyscrapers in New York. Now, there are four being developed along the same street as One57 alone. Billionaire.com picks the city’s most outstanding multi-family high rises on the concrete horizon. 111 Murray Street This luxury residential tower developed by Fisher Brothers and Witkoff will soon soar some 800ft above Manhattan’s Tribeca neighborhood. Renderings of the condominium showcase a curved rectangular silhouette that looks almost round, slightly unfolding at the highest floors like a flared glass. The modern design is from Kohn Pedersen Fox. An A-team of visionaries has also been roped in for the project, including David Mann for it residence interiors; David Rockwell for amenities and public spaces and Edmund Hollander for landscape architecture.

  • BLOOMBERG BUSINESS February 16, 2016 Citadel Leases Anchor Space at New Tower on NYC's Park Avenue
    February 16, 2016 http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-02-16/citadel-leases-anchor-space-at-new-tower-on-nyc-s-park- avenue Citadel Leases Anchor Space at New Tower on NYC's Park Avenue by David M Levitt Hedge fund firm Citadel LLC signed a lease to anchor a new skyscraper that’s under construction on Manhattan’s Park Avenue, the first new office building to be built on the pricey corridor in almost four decades. The deal, reached late last week, entitles the $25 billion firm founded by Kenneth Griffin to a little more than 200,000 square feet (18,600 square meters) of office space at 425 Park Ave., said David Levinson, chairman of L&L Holding Co., the developer of the 670,000-square-foot tower. The lease includes the penthouse floor, which will have 38-foot (12-meter) glass ceilings and views of Central Park. Citadel also will occupy the two floors below the penthouse and space in the center of the Norman Foster-designed skyscraper, Levinson said. It’s a “great relief” to have “a complete, closed transaction” with Citadel, given the current turmoil in the stock market, Levinson said in a phone interview. “For a financial company as good as they are, to make a deal like this with all the turbulence in the world, is a very strong statement for New York City, and their view of the world economically.” The lease helps validate L&L’s decision to start work on the new tower -- on the east side of Park Avenue between 55th and 56th streets – before having any tenant commitments, a process known as building “on spec” and that’s regarded as risky in the real estate industry.
