It would seem that 111's gonna block the new Tappan "Not Mario Cuomo" Zee Bridge.
(I just prefer calling it by its proper designation. I'm as apolitical as they come.) |

Also, bridges are uniformly renamed by the government at its will. Consider the Robert Kennedy Triborough Bridge or the Ed Koch Queensborough Bridge. Lastly, the former bridge, which was once known as the Tappan Zee, is being razed. The Cuomo Bridge is a completely different structure. |

Gotham is in a league of its own!

The exciting part is that we also have 80 South, which will be slightly taller and in terms of aspect-ratio, will have a similar effect downtown. So Midtown, and I hope eventually, downtown, will have two trophy towers that excel in aspect ratio. |

Not even close to topping out. Absolutely insane Barely past the halfway point |
Currently at floor 60 and 778 feet. Believe it or not, 4 floors above this point is where the second setback shows up.

This is the intro: The city looked provincial back then. So much has risen. Jersey City back than was still a small farm town, full of banished New Yorkers. Also, check out the skyline here. A nice peak also at C.Park South. Fortunately, this hasn't happened yet... so we are okay, but if it does, may the beam strike a Kaufman tower. :tup: DoBro was still in its infancy. Pardon my french, but this scene is f**** great. |
