it's probably something procedural. Maybe they're waiting on approval from the FAA for the final crane jump.

we have to keep a close eye out for the final crane jump -- whoever notices post asap !!!

Skinny as heck! Like beautiful bamboo. Architectural bamboo with alkaloids of terracotta that give a hell of an engineering and architectural high. Hopefully the invasive species will sprout more often.

They're hideous.

So, even though the industrial chimney look is a downside on the skyline, at least the streets are more open and inviting with these skinny towers, in comparison to overwhelming inhuman behemoths dominating the block. |

I always think of what would happen if even a Cesna were to hit this thing, it would break in half. However, I think this building is freaking badass.

you gotta be kidding me — skinny towers are a style among many and are great - and these look fantastic up close and at a distance. quality materials like nothing else. save the ire for the blando boxes and generic glass apt bldgs.

I wouldn't waste your breath. Aqua has been a NY troll for years and years. Mancuso carries around that--irrational-upstate-rage towards everything New York City--like a stone around his neck. Sad |

I don't like the skinny towers either, and I love New York. For me, the skinny supertalls are a bit like obnoxious spires. They're certainly more necessary than spires on a building are, but there's a part of me that sees them as cheating, though, again, I get it that they're necessary in a place like New York because of the demand for space/views.

its funny we went through a previous skinny apt bldg phase in the 1980s and the complaints haven’t changed today.
these are advances in engineering tall towers, so better get used to them. maybe when we have more of them it will look better to h8trz? there is no doubt we will eventually. also, i would just remind you that even if you don’t like a building style or its bland, quality can always save the day (ie., 1 wtc, 1 manhattan west, etc.) and these skinny towers have quality materials in spades. check them out up close when you can. |
