Park Fifth was my favorite project (along with the original 8th/Grand proposal) not so much because of the height but rather the way the configuration was influenced by the historic context of the surrounding buildings. The 150-foot cornice line of both the Title Guarantee and Subway Terminal Buildings were cleverly used as datums.
