New Yorks Municipal Skyscraper Plans Unveiled
The New York Tribune reports a municipal office skyscraper of about 20 stories to be built on the old Tryon Row site opposite Brooklyn Bridge terminal. Plans call for a ground level terminal and two floors of offices, with many city offices housed in the building. Architects compete, with designs due April 14 and jurors reporting May 14, each paid 1000. The project spans Chambers Street to Park Row, includes 600000 square feet of floor space, and aims to cut city rent from 5500000 annually. The mayor notes cost efficiency and service focus over ornament, with court space factored into height. Proposals expected next fall.
