For skyscraper/urbanist geeks, a 1,557 ft., starchitect-designed skyscraper by a first-rate developer and ultra-iconic location, all on a tiny site, with crazy urbanity, no parking, and no historic buildings removed, is about as good as it gets.
I'm the opposite of a NIMBY and I don't like it. Which is funny because I really like controversial towers like 432 Park and 56 Leonard, for some reason the top of this one really bothers me. Hopefully there will be further refinement / tweaks. I wish they would try to accentuate the verticality, rather than these awkward offsets.
