has unveiled plans for its new global headquarters: a 60-story skyscraper powered entirely by renewable energy.
Set to complete in 2025, the 1,388-foot-tall tower will become New York's largest"all-electric" building, according to Foster + Partners, the architects behind the design.A series of digital renderings, released last week, show the tower's stepped form soaring over Midtown Manhattan.
Construction work has already commenced at the site, which was once home to the 708-foot Union Carbide Building. The architects say that 97% of the building materials from the tower's predecessor will be"recycled, reused or upcycled." The new design also promises more than double the amount of ground-level outdoor space at the address, complete with a public plaza and widened sidewalks.
