^ It will definitely do that.

As if we didn't know already, thin is in.


Quote:
The venture's plans for the tower submitted last month to the city's Landmarks Preservation Commission call for an approximately
1,350-foot skyscraper that sets back from the street numerous times as it reaches higher—resembling tall, thin steps.

"It's really going to enhance the skyline," says Vishaan Chakrabarti, a partner at SHoP Architects, which designed the tower.
He says the planned tower would be clad with bronze-and-white terra-cotta stripes, so the building "sparkles during the day
and has a soft glow at night."
This will complement One57 very nicely.
