While i don't think the grating panels are the worst, I would have rather seen Opaque Glass Spandrel Panels there. Love the building but they should have spent more on an area that will be seen more than any other part of the building. Those grating panels should be up at the mechanical penthouses. IMO.
It's awesome you can now see it prominently from the west. Also had no clue you could see TSX Broadway on the skyline!
That area of Midtown, west of 8th Avenue is a primarily lowrise, residential neighborhood. So the towers that are further inland and easier viewed than say the towers on the east river side.
So according to that elevation diagram in the video showing the inside of the building, the tower is 1,139' 6" with a few extra feet for the splice and it still has less than 250' to go. Love it, keep it up!
Have you been to the observation deck of 1 Vanderbilt? How much does that cost?
Been up there a couple of times. It’s on par with the other decks in the city, starting somewhere around $40 and going up depending on what other features you choose. Best to reserve in advance though. That’s for any of them.
