One of New York's project that I have been curious about for sometime is Carnegie 57, a mixed use hotel and residential building which will stand 75 floors and 1005ft tall on West 57th Street. The vertical pattern of stripes on the building evoke the energetic cascade of New York's verticality and the dynamic cladding reminds me of buildings which have been constructed in the UK in recent years, such as the Beetham Tower in Manchester.
Carnegie was originally lined up as being the tallest residential tower in North America, although there has been no fanfare apparent with the building rising out of the ground and it's difficult to find any information on the building, even on the developers website. All we know is that the building will be green, LEED certified and house New York's latest Hyatt luxury hotel. The silence of Extell Development Corp means people may have to wait until the doors open to find out much more about the building.
