What are New York's plans for skyscrappers in the future? (2013, condo)

[yyuusr]

Are they going to be touching the other boroughs and making any noticeable changes anytime soon or is the plan to fill up Manhattan as much as possible then move on to the other boroughs? Which begs the question, how much more can Manhattan be filled up and how long from now might it take them to do that?

Sorry if there are other threads like this already. I'm not really a regular in this section.

These are just the ones that are likely to get built: Vision: New York 2020 - New York Yimby

There are quite a few others planned.

"Skyscrappers" is indeed a good term for some of them.

Wow I had totally forgotten I created this thread.

Thanks for the link. That looks interesting.

One thing I'll be very interested to see progress (or not) with the new Administration, is the massive rezoning planned for the Midtown East district around the Chrysler Building. I'm all for higher density and all for intelligently improving that district to keep us competitive with other top-tier global cities, but I'm also very glad this plan wasn't rushed through in a haphazard manner during Bloomberg's last days. Should be interesting to watch how it plays out between the developers, neighborhood activist groups, the 2nd Avenue subway construction, and of course the continuing concerns (valid and invalid) that NYC is becoming a condo canyon playground of the rich.

As far as the other boroughs, I expect you'll see continued skyscraper development in the usual suspects (Williamsburg, downtown Brooklyn, Long Island City, etc.)

There's two very good skyscraper forum websites that really have a wealth of this kind of info but it's against community guidelines to mention competitor websites.
