That's what we're saying. Regardless of whatever the design of 1 Vanderbilt is, the Chrysler Building's presence will be lessened by the fact that it will no longer be as dominant in the area, with more towers to follow. It's a trend that has already been in the process overall in the skyline, with buildings like BofA and others already surpassing its peak. The building will be no less beautiful, because its design won't change. But this is no longer 1930's New York, and we shouldn't expect buildings that were built (nearing a century ago) to be the dominant towers on the skyline.
