The construction Department of new York forbade the construction of a skyscraper in VeSt side, revealing the deception, laid by the architects of the building.
As you know, the apartments on the upper floors are much more expensive because of the views from the Windows spectacular. That company Extell, which was to engage in the construction of high-rise, decided to add to the agreed 236 meters a few dozen.
The trick was that the design of the skyscraper included the erection of the upper floors on piles. It was necessary to build the engine with a height of 46 meters, through which the skyscraper would be higher than indicated in the approved project.
Gale brewer, President, borough of Manhattan, said the ban is a victory not only for the West side, but all the people of new York.
But this skyscraper would be the tallest on the Upper West side. The design of the tower, resembling an obelisk, has developed a Norwegian / American architectural firm Snøhetta, who designed the New library of Alexandria and the national theatre of Opera and ballet in Oslo.
The building project was submitted to the Department of building new York city in 2015, but then he was deemed questionable, since the developer wanted to acquire the rights to the airspace.
