Vornado's Port Authority tower plans unveiled
It is the latest step forward for one of the city’s numerous projects that just refuse to dieHopefully it will not be accompanied by yet another step back.
At a public meeting today of the board of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, plans were presented by the Vornado Realty Trust for a 40-story office tower, according to the Observer, which got the scoop. Vornado offered three potential designs, all very striking, not to mention strikingly emblematic of the responsible firms: Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners, Pelli Clarke Pelli, and Kohn Pedersen Fox.
It is worth noting that what had once been a lonely corner off Times Square could soon boast three impressive towers, if not more: this new one, which would block the dominant Jersey view of the second,the times building across 8th Avenue, and a third, the FXFowle-designed Eleven Tmes Square. It is becoming quite the architectural hub, especially with 4 Times Square and One Bryant Park just down the block.
