I'm glad the skyline is changing (it's a healthy sign of a city that isn't stagnant), but this is one I could have done without. |

Spire or not, this is 1000 times better than 432 Park.

Amen! And those are some beefy window washing cranes, they look great up there flexing. |
Welp, now 432 Park is ignored I guess… :/

Apologies if this is a bit gratuitous - it's been almost two years since I've had a proper vacation so got a little snap-happy with the camera.

Absolutely insane shots of this beast.

Am I the only one that doesn't really like this building? The height is amazing and it's an impressive feat of engineering, but I really do not like the design of this building at all.

And exactly what is it with the window scrubbers or whatever they are so prominent on the roof of this tower and 111 W57th as well? Are other older classic towers featuring that equipment so prominently? Does it retract for most of the day, because they make for eyesores. Just TOO prominent. |
I was wondering about the window washing rigs too. So many recent towers seem to flaunt them all the time rather than stow them out of sight like One57. It seems particularly ugly on 111W57 and 425 Park.

i do see more towers that leave them out, or have them built out, which i do notice and yeah it is weird i think. i don't believe they detract though. i mean, i would rather have the windows cleaned regularly. :shrug: |
They're being used and not retracted. Don't panic!
|
Not panicking lol, but don't see obvious window scrubbers as a very classy crown substitute. Look at the window scrubbers...so breathtaking! LOL!
|
Well, it does make sense that building recently under construction would have a lot of windows that need washing.

IMO the photo below shows one of the better perspectives. From many of the other angles, this building looks either too bland or a bit awkward/weird. If it looked this good from all angles, I suspect fewer people would be criticizing it.

Those are really great photos, MayDay.

This tower categorically has NO aesthetics. Its is a massing exercise that is 1500+ feet tall; the shape is synonymous with building a tower that is 1500 feet tall as cheaply as possible. A testament to how some developers like Extell should absolutely have no bearing on "contributing" to the NYC skyline as they tastelessly besmirch it with visual trash like this that emanates out of it. As far as Smith and Gill goes, they seem to have really needed to money from this atrocious commission; not a shred of architectural dignity is reflected on this, with the exception that is tall; a towering showcase of indifference to aesthetics or embellishment of any kind. I suppose you can split hairs by comparing it with 432 Park, but they are both different variations of the same exercise, built it tall and cheap, even if its ugly. |

Glass towers aren't "cheaper" than masonry. You may not like the aesthetics, but developers don't go with glass bc they want to save money. Their glass/masonry decisionmaking is based on their perception of target market preferences, not whether they can get a deal on masonry at Home Depot or something. Geez. And 432 Park and CPT are among the most expensive residential towers ever erected, anywhere on the planet. They're the antithesis of "cheap". Quality glass is incredibly expensive, generally more expensive than masonry, and labor costs are extremely high. |
