how many of you out there agree that this is perhaps the best-looking building added to the NYC skyline since the age of the greats (early 1900s-1930s)? My third favorite building in midtown, after Chrysler (naturellement) and ESB. It is so fresh and elegant, much like I.M. Pei's Bank of China tower masterpiece in Hong Kong.

This is a great-looking building, but the NIMBYs destroyed it.
A landmark tower, but, having cut the height from 1,250 ft. to 1,050 ft., the NIMBYs neutered its skyline presence. Unlike most residential supertalls, the public can access the tower, which is nice. The base is part of the MOMA expansion. |
A supertall that isn't another glass box building for once and this happens.....tragic.

Are the mismatched glass colors at the top ever going to be fixed?

Looks better but some shades are still a little off.
I think this may be my favorite post-war tower in New York. |
Agreed.
Absolutely stunning. |
