Option 1: Overbuild and keep schools the same Expands the building over part of Co-op Tech, loses 10 stories 615’ / 58s 605’ 164’ 165’ E. 96th Street Second Avenue E. 97th Street First Avenue East River
Option 2: Put residential on top of school at 1st Compromises the school, but brings buildings down to ~450 feet 429’ / 40s 454’ / 36s 164’ 165’ E. 96th Street Second Avenue E. 97th Street First Avenue East River
Opt 3: Move res. building to 1st and put schools on 2nd Still huge and a poor place for the building (flooded during Sandy) 698’ / 69s 167.9’ 164’ E. 96th Street Second Avenue E. 97th Street First Avenue East River
The overbuild option is the simplest way to reduce height without compromising the schools Con: Increases building cost Doesn’t lower building height much Compromises part of the roof of Co-op Tech Pro: Lowers building height while keeping core out of school A minor change that would likely not restart ULURP Building is still very tall, taller than Mt. Sinai by about 75 feet
The two building option dramatically lowers building height Con: The usability of the school is compromised with residential core going through building Would likely restart ULURP Pro: Substantially lowers building height Buildings are still very tall, about 100 feet taller than Taino Towers, but 100 feet shorter than Mt. Sinai
