1,100-ft Supertall Proposed for West 57th Street in NYC

The NYC Department of Buildings (DOB) indicates that planning is underway for a mixed-use, 1,100-ft-tall tower at 41-47 West 57th Street, New York YIMBY reported. The development applicant, BOB 57, LLC, is proposing a 63-story supertall with just under 443,100 ft² of newly built space, about 237,100 ft² of which would be devoted to 119 residential units. Another 205,100 ft² is on the drawing board for a 158-room hotel, and the project would include a restaurant. The building’s projected height would easily include it among the supertalls of Billionaires’ Row. Construction is expected to take four years, with a suggestion that it will be completed in 2026; however, there has been no public disclosure of an architect or official renderings. The site was earlier suggested for a supertall carrying a whimsical architectural design named after “The Khaleesi,” a character from the popular television series “Game of Thrones.” Reports of the newest project make no mention of a connection to that previous proposal.
