All the fancy design work is probably like 5% percent of the process. You should check what you are getting yourself into. Videos like these cut out the grinding years of endless discussions, lawsuits, paperworks etc.

There are still lots of fields where remote working does not work as good. Demand would go down in some fields but considering that the population of USA is constantly going up(opposite from Japan or China where demographic decline will make tall buildings not as needed in the long term) the demand for living and working spaces in urban environments will only be delayed, not reduced.

I believe there will be fewer skyscrapers for businesses in the future. Instead, they will construct several more modern-looking buildings, like the one pictured, close to each other for the high-paying and high-ranking businesses worldwide in those cities and states. The older business skyscrapers may be converted into apartments or condos for remote workers and just anyone who wants to live there, but there will always be a need for business buildings. Face-to-face business meetings ensure that everyone is on the same page and focused on the business plan. Just my opinion and thoughts

In all seriousness, I really love how zoning architecture and construction are proving to be such an absolute core to helping New York City. Obviously it goes without saying that everything that happens. Generally happens inside of a building, but it really is awesome to know that there are people who are using the built environment as more than just a utility but are creating super beautiful architecturally renowned premium office space that also happens to strengthen and support the economy of our cities. You keep saying it like just building his building is going to shore up New York’s presents, but it really is fascinating to think that that’s kind of how it works.

New Yorkers do not really seem to care about any new skyscrapers. If you talk to them, many have never heard of "The Spiral" for example. That is a supertall skyscraper with quite large floor plates and with a cost of $3.7 billion it is one of the most expensive skyscrapers ever built. Such a tower would dominate most skylines in the world, but in New York City it is just seen as another skyscraper in Hudson Yards. From street level most supertall skyscrapers do not have a huge impact. For example if you walk along Park Avenue, 432 Park Avenue might not catch your intention. Only from a distance you will see how impressive it is. Even for a 400 metre tower it is not easy any more to stand out in Manhattan. 270 Park Avenue might stand out at night because of the illuminated top.

@zionismisterrorism8716 Жыл бұрын

Indeed. What works in paper doesn't necessarily work in practice. There are many examples of huge structures ending in disaster. Putting such a huge "theory" in such a densely populated area is a financially motivated hazard.

I hope there’s no tremors from an earth quake & shake! They didn’t use trump steel from China did they? Nah, it wouldn’t be standing if they had. But seriously, I’d that some special steel made just for that? The Japanese claim to have some prices that make steel stronger than any other steel in the planet. They use it in their tanks but I wonder if it also has the correct structural properties for buildings.

Thank you for finally (3 years late) acknowledging NYC’s decline. I’ve lived in NYC’s FiDI for several years, and with the office to apartment conversions, there is literally no business left on physical Wall St. Walking around, it feels like elevated public housing. Midtown still maintains its importance, but not in the pre-Covid pandemic at at all.

Please also do a video on the upcoming Hudson's Tower going up in Detroit. From the site of the famous Hudson's department store, to abandonment, to one of the biggest developments in the Midwest, I think it would make a great video.

The V-shaped columns remind me of the old-school French design when building tax was calculated by the area of the building footprint and not the size of the usable space of the building. The most simple concepts are often so complex.

The thing I can't wrap my head around is how all of this is more financially viable than just building in another location

Location Location Location. It’s next door to one the third busiest rail station in North America. It connects not only to the NYC subway but also regional rail like Metro North and the Long Island Railroad. That means it’ll allow people from as far away as Connecticut to get a one-seat ride to work.

NYC has been labeled "a city in decline" many times in the past, a city left for dead, a city emblematic of urban decay. NYC always bounces back, emblematic of what NYC is all about. I LOVE NYC!
