The crown will be the most exciting part to watch imo.

Scroll down and read some of the comments on the yimby article regarding the topping out (concrete formwork)
https://newyorkyimby.com/2019/04/111...n-midtown.html There are some folks that really, really... don't like this. :haha: Even saying the architecture is bad. They are a nuts I'd imagine. This tower is a work of art, not "" Zero architectural aesthetics. A sty in the Manhattan skyline. Keep your box of spaghetti that took 6 years to build. "" |
I think a lot of people dislike what the really tall residential towers represent. They're something everyone has to look at but will never be able to afford. I kind of agree with that sentiment. But I like skyscrapers so much that I overlook it.

^I like that Instagram post: "No rain at the top"!
Is the crown going to be 100% decorative, or will it have a few steps or even floors that people can climb? |
The biggest obstacle with this building is trying to get a photo of the entire building while still enjoying the insanely good details it has. Either the photo is zoomed out and encapsulates the wonderfully elegant massing, or it's zoomed in to show off the incredible facade details.

Some early renderings of that glorious crown...

Do we expect the process of getting the crown up to go fairly quickly, or will this be a more drawn out thing?
|
Something like 171 ft to go.

Rest assured, I'd be willing to bet folks are going to try to climb this, and CPT. If one does do it, I suppose they could parachute into Central Park. They did so with 1 WTC and some teens climbed 432 Park. |

Something like this...but I think this has been altered slightly. https://a4.pbase.com/o9/06/102706/1/...sXOrwj3.d3.JPG https://a4.pbase.com/o9/06/102706/1/...106_113049.jpg |
