I thought I loved One Vanderbilt when it was being built, but seeing 270 rise the past few years has been incredible Being almost fully lit has exceeded my expectations!!

I cannot wait for the day when 350 Park stands almost 200 feet taller than this. We will have 2 extraordinary icons courtesy of the Lords of Finance (homage to Liaquat Ahmed): Messrs. Dimon and Griffen! Mr. Schwarzman surely will join the Trinity, but it’s a matter of where Blackstone lands. I hope it will be at 175 Park and not the HY.
Lighting has been going well...so far tonight I have seen colors and numbers.

Well I think Most of you are not going to like my First Impressions of the Lighting.
Las Vegas, Times Square & Potential Advertising Go Skyline NYC; How Very Unfortunate!
Look At Me, Over Done and Not a Nice Addition to the NYC Skyline.
Perfectly fine, everyone has their opinion. But let's not act like NYC is some how immune to the shiny bright lights! There's always been light on the skyline, and it's always been a place where lights were flashy! That's New York City. It's the home of Times Square! But other than that, it's time the skyline started reflecting the current times. It's not 1925, it's 2025. Buildings are big and flashy. You can so so much more with lighting. They used to shoot lasers of the top of the Twin Towers.

^Thank you for brining up the twin towers laser lighting, I swear there's only two photos of that on the internet. But the 1925 amd 2025 comparison...absolutely spot on. Billionaires Row was supposed to feature interesting lighting but they're left on the dark like Chrysler when first built
What I am Most Concerned About is with LEDs to this extent, is the entire top two tiers can now have Words; Signage; Logo; Advertising! Great Towers in places like LA are already defaced day and night with the likes of the "US Bank" sign on the once beautiful crown of the Library Tower (US Bank Tower). I understand evolving into 2025, however, at 62 years old, I feel current hyper advertising/signage and constant over stimulation has not been a net gain for our society either. Our skylines do not need to add to this IMO.

Yeah, that's an old memory from back in the 90's. I sometimes wonder what they would be doing up there today. the billionaires row towers are hard to figure out. Sometimes they are on, sometimes not. Even old fashioned lighting would work on those towers, but you hardly see it.

I don't believe Logos, Signage or Advertising is allowed. Any buildings that currently have them are grandfathered in. Someone correct me if I'm wrong here.
