I wonder if the crown will be lit at night, or display awesome light shows like the Salesforce or Shanghai Towers :shrug:

Question: What is the height of the highest residence in this building, 1450 or so? Does anyone know the exact height?

I wonder how much old man Silverstein would have been willing to pay to prevent the spire going ahead and One WTC losing its Tallest-Building-In-The-Western-HemisphereTM kudos, if a meeting had been held. Maybe the same amount he saved from value-engineering his own spire. ;)
A 225' spire would have looked weird here. 300' at a minimum and take the crown from downtown. |

The owner might not, but the poor chumps running the viewing deck might. They spare no opportunity to remind you it's the tallest building at every turn. Imagine if they had to change all their signage, software, merchandising, staff uniforms, you name it...
Would serve them right. I hope it happens soon. |
Could there be a "gentlemen's agreement" not to dethrone 1 WTC? One of the early designs for the CPT had a spire reaching 1775 ft, which seemed to suggest that someone was intentionally staying below 1 WTC's structural height of 1776 ft. For over eight decades there was actually a gentlemen's agreement in Philly not to surpass the Philadelphia City Hall.

The skyscraper you want is the one that best functions for the economics of the group of new skyscrapers. The spire was limiting for the scale of the rest of the construction scope. And this brought on One Vanderbilt as a later addition for New York. The crown of the Central Park Tower is going to be very beautiful.
Last summer I was driving down 46 into Manhattan and Paul Simon's song Once upon a time there was an ocean was playing. Pretty great experience for my first new view of the New York City skyline. |

It's for the grand penthouse which has a ballroom with its own catering kitchen as well as powder room(s). The floor plans are online somewhere.
