I did love the skyneedle concept . . maybe that one,
super pointy, very slim, lots of vertical setbacks,
& much taller . . Chrysler itself is a slender tower . .

a Skyneedle is pie in the sky . . if only . .
that we'll get a slimmer, taller Vanderbilt . .
or even a DeKalb . . unlikely . .
none of HY towers would even begin to jive here . .

Lexington Avenue isn't that narrow, and Chrysler has setbacks. This tower should have setbacks as well or at least will taper (all due to zoning). But in either case, it would be no different from the rest of the canyons of Manhattan.
