That speaks more to the city than it does to this building, which is amazing in its own right.

I get what you're saying about this building not being city-defining like the Twin Towers were. The skyline has definitely evolved, and it's packed with supertalls now. I think that makes it harder for any new building to stand out the way the Twins did. But, on the flip side, it's cool to see how the skyline keeps changing and growing. 270 Park might not define the city, but it’s part of this new era of growth, and I think that’s something to appreciate too.
