New York's $3BN Skyscraper GAMBLE - #37
About this episode
This week we’re talking about the B1M's latest video; "New York’s $3BN Skyscraper Gamble" - specifically, 270 Park Avenue (AKA the NEW JPMorgan Chase Building). This beast of a skyscraper is under construction in Midtown Manhattan. Designed by Foster + Partners, the tower has a lot of call backs to the NYC towers of old... is this New York's comeback skyscraper?
Do you remember when we covered "The Downtown Circle" in Dubai a few weeks back...? Well, Tomorrow's Build has released a video on the project. It's amazing. And we're covering it with updated opinions. Lastly, we're heading to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia to look at a former desalination plant on the Red Sea coast that's set to be turned into a museum. Designed by Heatherwick Studio with an eye on retaining industrial heritage, the new Jeddah Central Museum will feature a large exhibition space within a converted turbine hall.
We end the show with a sweet Apple Podcasts review from Brannde as well as two spicy emails from Hunter Holder and Roland Ohlsson.
