This phased development makes for quite a wall along West Farms. I really wish more of these giant box affordible projects could take the form of thinner towers in the 25-30 floor range flanking a shorter connected base in the 6-8 floor range that referenced the height of the existing apartment house vernacular of the area.
And yes I understand that would likely be more expensive as highrise construction past a certain height adds costs and the building would require systems that highrises need including more elevators.
What you describe is the coming 1460-1480 Sheridan Boulevard, currently going through ULURP.
I hadn’t heard of those yet… Thanks for the tip.

West Farms Square has a rather highly elevated station for the #2 and #5 trains. The neighborhood is likely better than in the 1970s when I passed through it regularly. The Square was notorious for its “night parade” and matters only got worse when the old Chester Theatre was converted to a “motel” of sorts. An early attempt to improve the area south of the Zoo was the development of low and high-rise structures in Brutalist oversize reddish brown brick. These initially were honored by architects, but problems arose. The open areas intended for community use became battlegrounds for gangs. The brick leaked badly and was covered with metal siding in places. There is talk of demolishing these buildings which barely made the 50-year mark. This is especially the case for some that had duplex units with no exit from the upper level. A recent fire killed many in another area of this multi-site development.
