A "TWIN" THE EMPIRE STATE DESIGNED BY PELLI

Council New York Community today approved construction of a twin building of the Empire State Building, the tallest skyscraper in the city, which will be screened for the study of Argentine architect Cesar Pelli.

The new building will rise on 34th Street up to Penn Station, a few meters from the famous building that was hung in the famous King Kong movie. The proposed new skyscraper, designed by the Pelli-Clarke-Pelli, provides 67 apartments for a total height of 370 meters, compared with 102 stories and 381 meters from the historic New York skyscrapers. Supported by Mayor Michael Bloomberg, the project enjoyed the active opposition of the owner of the Empire, Anthony Malkin, who criticized the decision of the Communal Council. For Malkin, new construction and forever alter significantly the horizon (skyline) of the city. "Maybe people do not realize now, but we are changing the skyline fairly?, asked.
" It's hard to imagine that the city Paris authorize a few meters from the Eiffel Tower construction a structure of the same dimensions " added.

Despite criticism, the New York Community Council approved the project with 47 votes in favor and only one against.

The vote by 47 votes to 1 that city council was made after of a fierce lobbying campaign and relationships public by the owners of the Empire State to stop this tower rival , which was designed by the architect Cesar Pelli Tucuman. Argue that their large profile will be overshadowed by Empire.

came to propose an area of \u200b\u200b500 meters around the Empire State, in the 34 and the 5 th Avenue, where it would not be allowed to build a similar skyscraper . But the council paid little attention to these arguments when it approved the planned tower, known as 15 Penn Plaza, on Seventh Avenue, across from Madison Square Garden and Penn Station.

Christine Quinn, spokeswoman for the council, said that this project is about jobs and noted that "New York City is progressing in and out of the recession."

"This project and this vote today will help ensure that the City of New York has an office tower XXI century, new and important, in downtown Manhattan said Quinn.

The project also received support from Mayor Michael Bloomberg, whose administration favors from long ventures near major transit points as Penn Station, the busiest station in North America, where they spend more than 450 thousand passengers every day. Due in part to its proximity to a transit center, the builder of 15 Penn Plaza, Vornado Realty Trust, was benefited area permits that allow you to erect a building 56 percent larger than that normally allowed.

"People do not come to New York to visit caves," noted Mitchell Moss, professor of Urban Policy at the University of New York and informal adviser to the mayor.

"People want to see the sights, the height and the experience of being in a tall building. The skyscrapers allow us to make the best use of a limited amount of land " he said.

Anthony Malkin, owner of the Empire State, was in favor of construction in the area around them, but the tower proposal should be reduced to not affect the view of his building, which is only since its inauguration 79 years ago. "We think that 15 Penn Plaza is too close to the Empire State, of 381 meters in height, height and design, "said Malkin.

The Empire State, which reaches 443 meters when including its lightning rod, was the highest in the world for over 30 years . And in New York do not want that shadow.
