City Tech Tower was a supertall skyscraper designed by Renzo Piano, which was proposed to rise at Jay and Tillary Streets in Downtown Brooklyn, New York City, but has since then been cancelled.
The building would have stood 1,000 feet (305 m) tall and contain 65 floors for the New York City College of Technology and 600 units of housing. The building, at a height of 1,000 feet (305 m), would have been the tallest out of a proposed complex of five towers. The building would have been the first skyscraper in Brooklyn to rise more than 60 stories, since the tallest completed building in the borough is only 42 stories tall.
Famous quotes containing the words city and/or tower:
“Lo! Death has reared himself a throne
In a strange city lying alone
Far down within the dim West,
Where the good and the bad and the worst and the best
Have gone to their eternal rest.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
“The tower said, “One!”
And then a steeple.
They spoke to themselves....”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
