great tower proportions so far . . great base . .
I only hope the crown notches get taller than I see so far . . (they're important) . . then the crown should be nice . . especially lit at night . . I was never all that worried about 35HY, after I saw the final renderings . . this 1039 ft beauty of David Childs, along with the darker 910 ft, DS&R 15HY tower, make for great foreground buildings for the main KPF Hudson Yards Focal complex (10 & 30) . . It's old news that I'm not enamored with the vessel . . But I hate that contraption less, and love 15HY more, than I did when seeing their finalized renderings . . I do now appreciate 15's soft sensual curviness, in her upper reaches . . while most of the base is merely cold & mediocre . . the structure of the attached shed is riveting steam-punk excellence . . though its outer covering, well, . . I haven't seen that much of it . . what I did see, looked inferior . . But NYC tower crowns, play the most significant role in my assessment of tall skyscrapers . . up there they can inflict the most damage on the city . . or they can uplift the whole town . . that's why they're most important to me . . So overall, the 4 tall buildings of the central pivotal district of the eastern section of the HY development (35, 15, 10, & 30HY), . . are pretty successful . . . . but while these 4 are lookin' pretty awesome, at this point, sorry to say, I've generally a poor appraisal of most other new large glass buildings (planned, finished, & under construction) in the HY area . . |

Joining 30 Hudson, 53w53, and 3 WTC as the latest supertalls in the city to begin wrapping up, ready for their own legacy as contributors to this great skyline, even as others still rise to their mark.

In the many years of my life, I have never seen Manhattan not under construction.
NYC is the only city that will forever keep building tall supertowers! :) |
