A rendering for the Norman Foster-designed JP Morgan headquarters at 270 Park Avenue has been released. Likely the future third tallest building in the city (by roof height), the tower is projected to rise 1,425 feet with 2.5 million gross square feet. The site was home to the 707' Union Carbide Building, which is quickly being dismantled, setting a new record for the tallest building demolished in the world, breaking the record of Manhattan's 612-foot tall #SingerBuilding, demolished in 1968 and replaced with One Liberty Plaza. The Foster + Partners-designed skyscraper will be the first to take advantage of the 2017 Midtown East Rezoning, which allows developers to purchase and transfer air rights from adjacent landmarked buildings – they've already made a deal with St. Bartholomew’s Church to purchase 550,000 square feet of air rights for $20.7 million. Approved by the city, the new skyscraper will have a 10,000-square-foot, privately owned public space, in addition to $42 million in investment towards transit upgrades. Approved by the city, the new #skyscraper will have a 10,000-square-foot, privately owned public space, in addition to $42 million in investment towards transit upgrades. The rendering (above) was first released by New York YIMBY but appears to be Macklowe's Tower Fifth rendering with 270 Park rendered in. Because of this, we are skeptical it is actually an official rendering. Still, it’s likely a realistic view of how the skyscraper will transform the Park Ave skyline. #parkave #270park #architecture #tower #normanfoster #architect #midtown #parkavenue #eastmidtown #rezoning #urbanism #newyorkcity #nycarchitecture #aianyc #realestate #nycrealestate #manhattan #unioncarbide #modernism #modernistarchitecture #airrights #construction #demolition #steelworkers #nycurbanism (at 270 Park Avenue) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3pj1WlngII/?igshid=23m0p6lp6hs0

If you go to a museum first when you’re traveling, you can justify all day drinking & living in the spa rest of the time. Make sure to get a photo so your friends and fam know you cultured AF #stpetersburg . . . #SingerBuilding #SaintPetersburg #zinger #art #architecture #spb #travel #trip #holidays #model #actress #blonde #mood #tbt #persephone #goodtime #modellife #photoshoot #lamodel #nymodel (at Singer Building.

In 2010 we worked with Jano Badovinac @fugitive_glue to develop our current branding. Inspired by the iron work on the singer manufacturing building in NYC #singerbuilding Labels #madeincanada by @lavenlabels #10years #10years #anniversary (at Philip Sparks)

Looking down Broadway from the Post Office in 1908. On the right: St. Paul's Chapel, Evening Post Building, Western Union Building, City Investing Buiding, the world's tallest Singer Building, and the Trinity Building. In 1902 the Singer sewing machine company purchased the lots to the north and west of their headquarters on Broadway and Liberty Street with plans to build an iconic skyscraper for the company. Architect Ernest Flagg designed a thirty-five story tower, which the company soon doubled in height to 612 -foot skyscraper. In September 1906 the foundations were set and twenty months later the world's tallest building was completed. The Beaux-Arts red brick and bluestone skyscraper carried the title for only a year when it surpassed by the Metropolitan Life Tower. Sixty years later Singer sold the beloved building and it would become the largest building ever demolished, as the site became headquarters for the black slab, modern U.S. Steel Building, now known as 1 Liberty Plaza. In 1963 the Singer Corporation sold the building and in 1968 it became the tallest building ever demolished as it made way for the U.S. Steel Building (now known as 1 Liberty Plaza). #singerbuilding #libertyplaza #skyscraper #metlifetower via ✨ @padgram ✨(http://dl.padgram.com) https://www.instagram.com/p/BQJNBQrAs7E/

JPMorgan Chase has filed new applications with the Department of Buildings for their skyscraper that will replace the Union Carbide Building at 270 Park Ave, setting a new record for tallest building demolished. The new plans show a 1,322-foot-tall tower, shorter than the original 1,566-foot proposal. The Foster + Partners-designed skyscraper will be the first to advantage of the recent Midtown East Rezoning, which allows developers to purchase and transfer air rights from adjacent landmarked buildings – they've already made a deal with St. Bartholomew’s Church to purchase 550,000 square feet of air rights for $20.7 million. Approved by the city, the new skyscraper will have a 10,000-square-foot, privately owned public space, in addition to $42 million in investment towards transit upgrades. Currently, no renderings have been released for the new tower, which will break the world record of NYC's 612-foot tall #SingerBuilding, demolished in 1968 and replaced with One Liberty Plaza. Approved by the city, the new skyscraper will have a 10,000-square-foot, privately owned public space, in addition to $42 million in investment towards transit upgrades. Demolition permits for the site were filed in January and approved, but typical for dense areas like Midtown, the building will not be demolished using explosives. Instead, it will be covered in cocoon netting and disassembled piece by piece, first removing harmful materials, then working inside out to remove everything from doors and fixtures to the steel structural columns and concrete slabs.

These used to be worlds tallest buildings. Learn more about early skyscrapers at Wikipedia and find out why (and how) the 41 story tall Singer building was demolished in 1967 in a wonderful article over at Untapped Cities.

Lower #Manhattan in a period of transformation ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ There's so much going on in this incredible aerial photo of Lower Manhattan from 1951... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ -Five years later the first modernist slab #skyscraper downtown, Chase Manhattan Plaza (28 Liberty) would be built. -Years later, more of these skyscrapers on #superblocks would replace all the historic buildings along #SouthStreet, seen in the bottom right of this photo. -South Street is still uncovered and hasn't gotten its viaduct (or tunnel under #BatteryPark) but the new #BatteryTunnel (without the Battery Garage) is visible on the left. -So many piers along the #HudsonRiver! -The #SingerBuilding and Produce Exchange have yet to be demolished. 🤔What else do you notice in this photo?
