The final exterior cladding elements have been added to SHoP Architects' 111 West 57th Street in New York City,
a supertall skyscraper that is both the world's skinniest and the second tallest in the Western Hemisphere.

The 1,428-foot-tall (435-metre) tower reached completion last week, with the developers announcing that it is ready for residents to move in.

The world's skinniest skyscraper has been completed, adding a new landmark to Manhattan's famous skyline.

Steinway Tower, or 111 West 57th Street, has a height-to-width ratio of 24:1, making it "the most slender skyscraper in the world," according to the developers.

At 1,428 feet, it is also one of the tallest buildings in the Western hemisphere, falling short of two others in New York City:
One World Trade Center at 1,776 feet and Central Park Tower at 1,550 feet.

The midtown Manhattan development includes 60 apartments spanning the tower's 84 stories and the adjacent Steinway Hall building.
