After 2+ decades, this will finally get off the ground. This is the epitome of "better late than never." That's the nicest way one could put it.
Although the design fits in well with the rest of the WTC complex, it could just as easily fit within the Hudson Yards. To be fair, you couldn't really go any other way other than the boring corporate glass and flat facade. Yea yea, there are a few vertical fins (big whoop) and balconies, but it's still overwhelmingly a generic flat blue wall. Admittedly, it is the nicer design of the WTC site, but that's not saying much.
This, alongside a couple other supertalls in midtown, are going to make the next 5-7 years one of the most exciting years in modern times for NYC skyscraper enthusiasts.
All in all, I'm just happy this is finally rising!
