We recently brought you parts one and two of our tallest residential skyscrapers series, which totaled 63 projects poised to scrape the sky. But this list doesn’t even take into consideration the development boom occurring in Jersey City, unreleased plans on the drawing board, and the numerous office and hotel projects also rising throughout the city. So here you have it, part three of the series to complete our look at NYC skyscrapers.

To provide you with some perspective on just how much is going up, according to the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat there are currently 228 skyscrapers (500+ feet) in New York City. Thus, the 63 residential projects will account for a 27% increase in the total number of towers. In fact, there are more residential towers planned for the city than the total existing skyscraper counts in all but ten cities on Earth. Booming London for instance only has 14 buildings more than 500 feet and just five under construction.

New York and Hong Kong account for almost one-fifth of the world’s skyscrapers. Data compiled by The Center on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat’s (CTBUH), Skyscraper Center

Schematic Design

So will the high-rise boom continue? If Mayor DeBlasio’s plan to construct 80,000 affordable units over the next ten years succeeds, it will have to. Many of the affordable units envisioned by the plan are to be built by private developers and subsidized by market-rate construction.

It’s also likely that new housing will continue to be high density. This past September, 70 new building permits for buildings nine stories (95 feet) and above were filed with the NYC Department of Buildings. This smashes the previous one-month record of 38 new high-rise filings set back in June of 2007. If all built, the residential portion of those 70 filings will provide a staggering 9,500 dwelling units. In contrast, the remaining 270 new building permits for structures lower than nine floors accounted for just 3,000 additional units.

All this building will continue to raise serious concerns about maintaining neighborhood context and further overtaxing our infrastructure. This past September, the MTA recorded the highest daily subway ridership since the 1940s with more than 6.1 million swipes. Something tells us the future residents of those 9,500 units will need a better way to get to work. Gondolas anyone?
