My guess (besides that they capture lightning energy from the sky to fuel David Villa’s immortal body) is those are "affordable housing" to sweeten the pot for the city.
Perhaps, but if so, the footprint of each structure looks very small - gonna be some micro-units up for rent along the superfund site.
man, imagine being a soccer fan and living on one of the top floors? could watch some free games from the comfort of your home - pants optional live soccer

Maybe they intend for the stadium to levitate. Assuming by the time it's built that technology would be around.
Fished out my original post (from November 2015) on the subject and here it is in it's soothsaying wonder:

It honestly has to be one of the biggest longshots in the thread, but someone was paid money to put this together, so it has to have been in consideration at some point. Almost incredible to think a building that large could be supported over water.
I’ve seen this rendering somewhere but it was supposed to be top secret. Hmmm
So as the troll mentioned in the first post - the only real hurdle is the clean up of Newton Creek which lead me to believe that zoning, Albany, City and Yankees, financing, etc. aren't problems in that spot. I'm not sure I believe it, but I do think it's at least possible that some of those things are true, but I'm still treating this as a fun fantasy for now.
That said, there was talk of Army Core of Engineers - do they have to do the cleanup of Newtown Creek? Anyone know how that would work?
Well, I don't know much about that, but the main thing is I got the Seriously Likeable badge!
Not an expert here, but I would think environmental testing and cleanup could take years.
How long ago? If it was in the last year, than somebody read my 2015 post for the concept because there’s no way spanning piers or a canal was their first choice or even something “normally” considered. This is serious CFG Fck-you level money that would have to be spent. Take the Hudson yards and multiply it by some factor because the Yards could drop Structural points for loads along side each track whereas spanning a canal, with the stadium above, has far fewer points of anchoring.
If we get this, it will definitely be the most architecturally significant stadium in the world.
Maybe I missed something but what's the source of the rendering?
They would have to approve the building of bulkheads, pilings, and other things to support the structure over the waterway.
I saw this rendering two months ago and it was the MAIN REASON I renewed my season tickets for next year. I can’t tell from who but renderings are hit and miss.
