I love the facade of this building and the way it tapers at the top, however it would have been 100X better if it mirrored itself. It feels like a building that’s been spilt in half. Total lost opportunity.

Starting to look sci-fi futuristic. https://www.instagram.com/p/CPJZOXMB_pg/ https://www.picuki.com/hosted-by-ins...c_sid%3D4f375e |
It will be sci-fi futuristic if more supertall skyscrapers were built, especially Tower Fifth, 175 Park, 270 Park and 350 Park. ESB got some rivals comin’ up.

How come both this and the CPT have been taking so long to wrap up the construction? They topped out in Oct 2019 and Sep 2019 respectively. Is it possible that they are struggling with the engineering issues that the NY Times reported earlier this year? See The Downside to Life in a Supertall Tower: Leaks, Creaks, Breaks

Sometimes buildings that look "incomplete" is what makes them unique. To hit closer to home: Some (not me) feel this way regarding the notion that H. Cobb should have included a couple smaller setback crowns and a spire into his proposal of FIBWC (US Bank Tower), rather than just the single crown and helipad presently seen. Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on your opinion), like this tower, the surrounding legal circumstances at the onset of the design's conception didn't support such an outcome. But I digress. This tower being the form it is I think lends itself well into the NYC skyline, particularly when it comes to the newer "skinny" Manhattan supertalls that have been going up in recent years. In fact, for me this is probably my favorite one of the bunch, not just because of it's shape, but because of it's glorious facade. |

I still remember it taking 2+ years from topping out to opening of 1 WTC. Lots of interiors! |
^ Yes, and we see that happening all the time.

Those 5G antennas in the foreground remind me of a question. How do they get mobile phone signals up in these super tall buildings? I’ve been on top of ESB and 30 Rock and the signal was terrible.
