Which building is taller, One Manhattan Square or the Chrysler Building?
One Manhattan Square One Manhattan Square (also known as 227 Cherry Street or 250 South Street) is a residential skyscraper project being developed by Extell Development Company in Two Bridges, Manhattan, New York City. The project is being built on the site of a former Pathmark grocery store, which was demolished in 2014. The building will stand 80 stories or 850 feet (259 m) above the street, and will possibly have a new supermarket in the tower's base. Once completed, the building will stand out significantly within the context of the neighborhood, the next highest structure being the Manhattan Bridge at roughy 30 stories (102 m) in height. A 13-story affordable housing component will be located separately on-site from the main tower, and completion is currently expected in 2019.
Time Warner Center Time Warner Center is a mixed use (office/commercial and residential) twin-tower building in New York City. Developed by The Related Companies and AREA Property Partners (formerly known as Apollo Real Estate Advisors), its design by David Childs and Mustafa Kemal Abadan of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, consists of two 750 ft twin towers bridged by a multi-story atrium containing upscale retail shops. Construction began in November 2000, following the demolition of the New York Coliseum, and a topping-out ceremony was held on February 27, 2003. The property had the highest-listed market value in New York City, $1.1 billion, in 2006. Originally constructed as the AOL Time Warner Center, the building encircles the western side of Columbus Circle and straddles the border between Midtown and the Upper West Side. The total floor area of 2.8 e6ft2 is occupied by office space (notably the offices of Time Warner and an R&D Center for VMware), residential condominiums, and the Mandarin Oriental, New York hotel. The Shops at Columbus Circle is an upscale shopping mall located in a curving arcade at the base of the building, with a large Whole Foods Market grocery store on the lower level.
