80 South Street is a planned super skyscraper in New York City that was unveiled to the public in August 2012.
description
80 South Street is directly across from New York's landmarked South Street Seaport neighborhood in Lower Manhattan . According to current plans, the building is to be 438 meters high and 113 floors, which would set a new record for the number of floors in New York, ahead of 520 West 41st Street (106 floors), One World Trade Center (104 floors) and the Empire State Building (102 floors).
As early as 2004 there was a project by the famous architect Santiago Calatrava , who among other things designed the design of the new World Trade Center train station . This should originally reach a height of 342 meters. However, due to funding difficulties, the project was abandoned.
The new tower is to be slightly lower and with a usable area of 75,000 m² contain both residential and hotel units. Anthony Morali was chosen as the new architect. His goal is to design a so-called Green Tower that contains a green terrace every 15 floors and offers residents a breathtaking view of the East River and the world-famous Brooklyn Bridge .
Construction requires consents as well as various permits from the City Planning Commission and the NYC Department of Buildings. This process can take up to a year.
In June 2019 there was a construction freeze, which continues to this day.
