I"m not concerned at all, because I walk the streets of Manhattan consistently. The hyperbole of people about any demolition of an older, pre-war building in Manhattan is almost laughable. And this is living a business district, not a museum, as I keep having to repeat on this forum. There are noteworthy buildings to be saved, obviously.
On another note, I missed an important point about the overall height of this tower, and assumed the 1,050 ft figure was the full height. However, other elements will push the height higher. If the bulkhead reaches 1,080 ft, it's possible that a parapet could reach higher.
A little more information on the tower...
Demo should begin in the fall....
