i wish there was less of that kind of thing posted here. its nothing to promote.

they are plenty enough worker pics and aerials i think.

Amen to that.

A stunning, landmark achievement in architectural and structural engineering, kudos to SHoP Architects, well done NYC.

^ We are lucky to have SHoP involved with so many projects.

Older, but awesome view...

Manhattan, from tower on 57th Street. The building is residential. The apartments at the top have this view. - And Central Park on the other side.

If only an arm and a leg would get me a view like that everyday, but even that won't cover the cost of the deposit 😂

Hopefully we're only weeks away til the crane and everything else come down to see this lit up at night!! 🤩

I think we are all waiting for that, but who knows when they will light it.

Not that we can see this, but it's there...

Like many tall buildings, @111west57st houses a tuned mass damper in a mechanical penthouse, just beneath @shoparchitects decorative crown. That’s 800 tons of steel up there.

and i am by no means not immune to the sneaky cool pics, i even reposted that one. it just made me rethink it afterward. :shrug: :tup:

I always thought that One57 was kinda goofy, but now with the other big boys providing context, it’s beautiful.

^ I always thought it was a monster of a tower, and now it is dwarfed!
