REAL ESTATE SECTION 6 14 PAGES THE NEW YORK HERALD CCOPYRIOHT, BT THE SUN-HERALD REAL ESTATE Wants NEW YORK, SUNDAY, MARCH 6, 1921. NEW STANDARD OI'L HOME WILL DOMINATE VIEW FROM BAY Huge Towerlike Structure Will Put Finishing Touch to Most Intensively Developed Block in the Be Put Up in Sections So as to Permit Great Business Organization to Continue Work in Its Old Home at 26 Broadway There aia tm.es when aptness will give a touch of originality to tlie most hackneyed figure of speech. On this ground poetic absolution might be grantee! the builder who yesterday declared that the construction of the new home for the Standard Oil Company of New York at the northeast corner of Broad.way and Beaver street would add unother jewel to the structural crown of Manhattan. Never was a gem given a better setting than this one which will 1111 up the gap in the skyline between the glistening white facade of the Washington building' now the home of the International Mercantile Marine, and the classic bulk of the Customs House. Without doing injustice to Its neighbors the poetic buildor might even liave added that It will stand out like a solitaire when viewed from the waters of the tipper bay.

"As long as Battery Park remains as it is," says I. N. Lewis of J. Phillips one of the brokers who helped the Standard Oil Company assemble the for the new building, "practically nothing can mar the architectural glory which this structure will add to the skyline of lower Manhattan. Splendid things have been done In recent years to add dignity to this skyline, but think it can eafely be said that none of these achievements In masonry can qual this graceful scries of towers banned by the Standard Oil Company and Its architects.

Will lie Monument of Beauty. "Thla magnificent undertaking will mean the logical balancing of the structural development of lower Broadway. The west side of Bowling Green and lower Broadway has been pretty thoroughly Improved in recent yours, as has also the lower section of Broad street. The Standard Oil Company's new home will a monument of surpassing beauty many years. It will stand forth as the dominating object in the first eye picture gained by the visitor coming the bay." The new building.

designed by Thomas Hastings of the firm of Carrere Hastings, with the aid of Shreve, Blake, will embody in Its site the Standard Oil Company's old structure at 26 Broadway, the Welles Building at 18 Broadway, the Produce Exchange Bank Building, at lfr and 12 Broadway, the five story brick buildings 1 and 8 Beaver street, the southerly wing of the Welles Building at 7 Beaver and the seven story structure at 81 New street. The acquisition of these which Involved lengthy negotiations. will give to tho new building a frontage of approximately 162 feet on Broadway, 160 feet on Beaver street and 102 feet on New street. It will thirty-four stories high and will represent an investment of approximately $35,000,000. Tlie facades will be of buff Indiana limestone In the style of tho Italian Renaissance, freely adapted to meet modern conditions, and will give an ap "1 PRESENT HOriE of the STANDARO OIL COMPANY of NEW YORK BROADWAY pearance of Groat strength and The first three atories will be treated with heavy the groat mass of the building will rise fifteen stories above the ground or entrance floor, with a setback at the tenth floor on Beaver and New streets, as required by the zoning law.

Tho top of this flnial will be about 480 feet above tho street. Included In this proposed addition. It Is contemplated that the entire front wall of the present building at "6 Broadway shall be replaced by one con WILL BUILD 16 LARGE APARTMENT HOUSES Developers of Jackson Heights, L. Heartened by Tax Exemption, to Begin Big Operation Soon As a direct ronult of the city's decision to exampt moderate priced houses and apartments from taxes for ten years the QueenWboro Corporation announced yesterday that It has filed plans for sixteen apartment houses to be built at Juckson Heights, In Queens, which will accommodate 192 families.

The Metropolitan Life Insurance Company has advanced $872,000 in mortgage loans on the operation and the materials have already been purchased. This Immense project Is tha climax of a serlos of similar announcements made during the last week by builders and developers in The Bronx, in Brooklyn and Queens. E. A. MacDougall.

president of the Queensboro Corporation, in a statement Issued in connection with the announcement of the apartment house operation, declared that buyers of cooperative apartments at Jackson Heights, which were completed after April 1, 1M0, Will the entire benefit In the saving of taxe.a. "It will reduce their monthly rental or fixed chargrs 10 a month on a five room apartment," hs said, "and In ten years will provide a saving to the tenant owner of 1,425. This saving will also apply to about 260 tenant owners who purchase apartments In the buildings which arc now heing completed at Jack, eon Heights. Every dollar in this saving will go to the tenant owner and not a single dollar will be capitalised In Cie sales price of the buildings. "Tho lax exemption ordinance to new buildings up to for a one family house, 110,000 for a two family house, or at the rate of $1,000 per room In a multl-fsmlly house, rot to per apartment, will encourage Immediate construction of one and two fnmlly houses and moderate priced apartments, particularly In the Borough of Queens, for ths following raesons: exemption applies only to the assessed value of the Improvement and is limited to $1,000 per to exceed $5,000 per family.

lend upon which moderate priced buildings oan be erected In tho Borough of Queens would only represent a small percentage of the total oost, whereas in Manhattan the land value would represent probably onehalf or more of th? total cost. "It must be apparent, therefore, that the greatest benefit will accrue to th moderate priced bnlldlngs on moderate priced land. This will serve the exact purpose for which the tax exemption the building of price? homes, as the grsat shortage of living nccommoda-1 tlon? in the city of New York to-day la th? lack of accommodations for people who can afford to pay from $25 to $1D0 par month. "The exemption would mean the to a family buying a ono family house or an npartment, whero the exemption equalled the full assessed value of the premises, of 110 per month on a five room apartment, or in ten years a total saving on taxes of $1,425, which tf capitalised at 1 per cent, would equal about 38 per ccnt. of the assessed valuation of the improvement.

This would be a very substantial to the family anxious to secure 3 home, and should result In an active market this year for cooperative apartments and moderate priced "It has been maintained that tho cost of construction Mill be reduced so that the Incentive of tax exemption would not be required. The pealt of construction cost was reached during tho last year when building operations were terminated. "There has been a reduction In price from the peak both In the price of building: material and In the est of labor, particularly common labor, but the average price of construction Is now about the 1919 cost, and believe will remain unless there Is some very substantial reduction hi the of skilled labor in the building trades "When building starts there will be need for more labor than there is available and under those circumstances It would not fceem reasonable to assume thst skilled labor In the building trades would be willing to accept a reduction In their rate or at least not less than the wages that prevailed In 1919. "The city of New York In encouraging home ownership by tax exemption encourages new building. This will naturally Increase its Income and the Increment to land as a result of an active building mnrket.

"The savings Institutions should make mortgage loans on a reasonable value, so that builders csn be to do everything within their power to provide housing, that certain of our city and State officials will not he justified in their continual demand for Federal, State or municipal housing "It Is certainly necessary to provide new housing nt once, so that there can be no requirement for tTie reonactment of the restrictive rent laws, and If the puhllc can be Induced to buy their hon es or apartments Instead of paylnsr abnormal rentals due to the scarcity of llvlflg accommodations, th? tax exemption law Is more than forming with the new building, which i will give a frontage on Broadway of more than 270 feet. The main entrance to the bullying will be about in the middle of the facade on Broadway, and 1 will lead to an imposing vaulted hall about 40 feet high, giving access to the elevators and leading on through to New street. There will also be a secondary entrance from Beaver street, leading directly Into the main hall. This floor heights of the new building will be carried through to line up with those of the old, so tnat direct communication will be had at all floors, giving I room for the expansion of all depart! menta. Thero will be nineteen elevators of a high speed type designed to take care of the traffic of both the old and the new building.

Tho space occupied by the elevators In the old building will be used for offices. On the twenty-third floor will be squauh courts, showers and locker rooms. The upper floors of the building, which have an unobstructed view over tlie upper bay and the Narrows, will be occupied by the executive heads of the company and their staffs. i The acquisition of the site for the i slant building was by no means the most difficult part of the project The varli ous properties purchased or leased hnd to be cleared of their tenants at a time i when business was none too pleni tiful. This meant that tho Standard Oil Company through Its real estate brokers i had to find quarters elsewhere for most of these oocupants.

Then came the problem of putting up the new building In cuch a way aa not to disrupt the workings of the groat organization whose It was to be. To meet this difficulty the architects and engineers hit on the interesting expedient of building the structure In units, like a slant sectional bookcase. The first operation, on which work has i already started, comprises the Now street ST.
