some quick stats for high rises affected (sorry for the super geek coming out)

Currently in the city of NY

31 buildings over 800 Feet

13 Under Construction over 800 Feet

12 Proposed over 800 Feet
Included in the proposals are 1 5000 Ft+  1 4000 Ft +  1 2000 Ft

Beg Pardon, but; Me thinks a Real 'Super-Geek' would've listed the 31 Bldg.s .  ;D

  Sorry

Included in the proposals are 1 5000 Ft+  1 4000 Ft +  1 2000 Ft

The 5000ft and the 4000ft ones will never happen for a variety of reasons including the FAA. The 2000ft may happen but I'd even be skeptical about that.

^^^^ Very nice.

 

[raybrag]

Interesting thing, Chief, is that there will be 2 (or more) Hudson Yards buildings in the list when they're complete . . . close to 20% of the mega-high rises in one small area, without significant fire protection.  Bad show.

Thank You Ray!

Question did you measure them your self.  Asking for a friend  ;D

 

[raybrag]

It took a VERY long string, Brad.  BTW:  There are only 30 listed.  1 Manhattan West (995') escaped while I was copying. I got it from several sources, but the simplest is a list on Wikipedia.  There are a few differences in the order, mostly due to heights varying depending on measuring to the top floor or the top of any tower that might be on the building (such as the antennas on the Empire State).

You da' Geek, Ray !    ;D  8)
