Frick, why is this tower so damn good? Just look at that bronze terracotta!

It can't rise fast enough.

nyguy please show me the central park tower from this angle too

Top of the Rock is going to have to lower its observation deck prices soon.

I don't think so. That place is always crowded with tourists, and will continue to be, as is the Empire State.

Wow, if 30 Rock is 850 feet. That makes Verre at least 900 in this image.

Yeah, it's getting up there. Won't be long now before it's topped out.



The views here are already great. You can look down on the animals in the zoo without even going in...:) Or watch the action in the rink.

This one is a little older, but it reminds me of that vista down 57th Street we will get when this tower is topped out...

So timeless!
This will fit well with the old buildings along Central park as well as the new towers going up along 57th.

Yes, and it's starting to get up there. We should be at the first setback level now.

This thing is unreal - quite a thing to watch this tower rise.

This will surely become a global landmark.

It will become one of the skyscrapers people think about when they think of the New York skyline. Not the tallest, but like the Chrysler, a building that captures the imagination of what a great NY skyscraper should be.

not seeing a setback as yet, but it has to be getting close to one

Owners of 111 West 57th Street supertall notch court victory over obscure REIT
Judge denies Ambase’s request to block foreclosure

By Konrad Putzier
January 24, 2018

Litigation is not over....
 

Ambase continues to pursue another lawsuit versus the developers. They make some seemingly legitimate complaints about the developers withholding required budget info as the costs grew, ultimately causing the foreclosure situation. The court filings make for some interesting reading for anyone interested.

Yea but you dont just go up there to see central park. Thats definitely a draw but you have 360* views of the city. Plus tower verre is one of the best towers of all time and youll have an up close view of the top of the tower. Thats going to be pretty badass to be able to be standing in open air next to the top portion of the tower.

i wonder how those claddings are going to age

They age with time.

^^
Good answer! Good answer!
Survey said.......:: DING ::

They will age like a fine wine. The Woolworth Building looks just as fine today as it was when it was built over a hundred years ago. I don't think at the time anybody worried about how it would "age" over time. But buildings do age. The great ones only get better, and New York has many of those.
