OCTOBER 1, 2020
We are now seeing 3 of the 5 tallest buildings in the country nearing completion, all within months of each other, if not weeks - Central Park Tower, 111 West 57th (Steinway), and One Vanderbilt. That's impressive. Not even the Empire State/Chrysler/40 Wall trio was as tightly spaced in time. Decided to check out the finishing touches on the crowns, the most visible parts of these towers on the skyline. This one, 111 West 57th Street, aka the Steinway Tower, is an amazing building on so many levels. But if there is one building fitting of a crown on the skyline, it's this one, our new Queen of the skyscrapers. This building could have been a lot of things, but they decided that it wouldn't be just some "ordinary" building. Can't wait until it's finished, so I can get a photo to frame. 1. https://a4.pbase.com/o12/06/102706/1...68_InPixio.jpg 2. https://a4.pbase.com/o12/06/102706/1...69_InPixio.jpg 3. https://a4.pbase.com/o12/06/102706/1...70_InPixio.jpg 4. https://a4.pbase.com/o12/06/102706/1...71_InPixio.jpg 5. https://a4.pbase.com/o12/06/102706/1...72_InPixio.jpg 6. https://a4.pbase.com/o12/06/102706/1...73_InPixio.jpg 7. https://a4.pbase.com/o12/06/102706/1...74_InPixio.jpg 8. https://a4.pbase.com/o12/06/102706/1...77_InPixio.jpg 9. https://a4.pbase.com/o12/06/102706/1...78_InPixio.jpg 10. https://a4.pbase.com/o12/06/102706/1...81_InPixio.jpg 11. https://a4.pbase.com/o12/06/102706/1...82_InPixio.jpg 12. https://a4.pbase.com/o12/06/102706/1...85_InPixio.jpg 13. https://a4.pbase.com/o12/06/102706/1...86_InPixio.jpg Flares out just a bit as it reaches the top... 14. https://a4.pbase.com/o12/06/102706/1...87_InPixio.jpg 15. https://a4.pbase.com/o12/06/102706/1...89_InPixio.jpg 16. https://a4.pbase.com/o12/06/102706/1...90_InPixio.jpg 17. https://a4.pbase.com/o12/06/102706/1...97_InPixio.jpg 18. https://a4.pbase.com/o12/06/102706/1...99_InPixio.jpg 19. https://a4.pbase.com/o12/06/102706/1...00_InPixio.jpg 20. https://a4.pbase.com/o12/06/102706/1...02_InPixio.jpg 21. https://a4.pbase.com/o12/06/102706/1...05_InPixio.jpg 22. https://a4.pbase.com/o12/06/102706/1...06_InPixio.jpg 23. https://a4.pbase.com/o12/06/102706/1...07_InPixio.jpg 24. https://a4.pbase.com/o12/06/102706/1...10_InPixio.jpg 25. https://a4.pbase.com/o12/06/102706/1...11_InPixio.jpg 26. https://a4.pbase.com/o12/06/102706/1...32_InPixio.jpg 27. https://a4.pbase.com/o12/06/102706/1...08_InPixio.jpg 28. https://a4.pbase.com/o12/06/102706/1...10_InPixio.jpg 29. https://a4.pbase.com/o12/06/102706/1...14_InPixio.jpg This guy must feel like the king of the world... 30. https://a4.pbase.com/o12/06/102706/1...20_InPixio.jpg 31. https://a4.pbase.com/o12/06/102706/1...21_InPixio.jpg The glass panels near the crown that are torqued reflect the sky differently... 32. https://a4.pbase.com/o12/06/102706/1...29_InPixio.jpg 33. https://a4.pbase.com/o12/06/102706/1...32_InPixio.jpg 34. https://a4.pbase.com/o12/06/102706/1...39_InPixio.jpg 35. https://a4.pbase.com/o12/06/102706/1...43_InPixio.jpg 36. https://a4.pbase.com/o12/06/102706/1...46_InPixio.jpg 37. https://a4.pbase.com/o12/06/102706/1...48_InPixio.jpg 38. https://a4.pbase.com/o12/06/102706/1...51_InPixio.jpg 39. https://a4.pbase.com/o12/06/102706/1...53_InPixio.jpg 40. https://a4.pbase.com/o12/06/102706/1...57_InPixio.jpg 41. https://a4.pbase.com/o12/06/102706/1...59_InPixio.jpg 42. https://a4.pbase.com/o12/06/102706/1...62_InPixio.jpg 43. https://a4.pbase.com/o12/06/102706/1...67_InPixio.jpg 44. https://a4.pbase.com/o12/06/102706/1...70_InPixio.jpg 45. https://a4.pbase.com/o12/06/102706/1...71_InPixio.jpg 46. https://a4.pbase.com/o12/06/102706/1...72_InPixio.jpg |
Can't wait to see this one in person some day.

Guess I understand now why the crown took so long to complete, seriously intricate detailing. Wow.

Thanks for all the pics and insight, NYguy!! As a native New Yorker living in Dallas, I SO miss the city and all its spires! I have family out there that I haven't seen since 2015 that I'd like to visit soon and these pics help me see a glimpse of my old home state!
Really interesting seeing 3 massive towers finishing up at the same time! We got 1Vand lit up so it's just a matter of time before this and CPT follow up soon (hopefully before the end of the year)! |

its very intricate and delicate looking indeed.
what about the other, staggered side of the crown? minor nit, but that many pics should at least include a walkaround. |

You guys can go out and get whatever pics you would like to see, in as many numbers as you would like to see them. As for myself, I will take and post what I please. But thank you though. These daredevils get around....(older view) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFFq3wLgm-R/ https://scontent-lga3-1.cdninstagram...5a&oe=5FA25D99 https://scontent-lga3-1.cdninstagram...2b&oe=5FA0E990 |

I wonder what they're going to do with the concrete columns in the blow-thru floors. Wrap them in dark bronze? Painted black? I can't recall.

i don't think showing these idiot kids who sneak up on buildings is a very good idea.
i wish there was less of that kind of thing posted here. its nothing to promote. they are plenty enough worker pics and aerials i think. |
