In five years, even this photo will look somewhat "quaint"...

I'm kind of wondering if midtown is going to flatline again at 1,400 feet......

[Solarian]

Any updates on if there's still scaffolding on 270 park?

I hate it, not sure the new 350 Park figure is accurate but fingers crossed. that 55+ feet would actually make a nice difference here.

From some angles Central Park Tower is a nice signature tower though.

Yes, but it's slowly coming down.



You've got to be tall to standout in Midtown...

Is this tower still under construction?

Imagine how this will look in a few years.

if you consider scaffolding still up as such then yes.

Nice tower, except for its disproportionately massive girth as it descends.

I think the scale contrasts nicely with all of the pencil towers around the city

We like 'em thick down here, neighbor.

"Thick" in the British sense? No, I like it too, friend, but I would have removed the bottom-two vertical columns on both sides. It looks like a morbidly obese Sears Tower.

Apparently you've never seen Willis (or Sears) Tower, this looks nothing like it. This is a perfect, soaring, tapering tower that could exist nowhere else than the greatest city in the world.

Looks more like the John Hancock Tower to me.

Possibly (see below), especially from the thin side and with the diagonal bracing almost identical to Hancock's. Only 270 Park's setbacks and broad bottom differ substantially.

I have, can you believe it, but not in-person. You think they look nothing alike? Have your eyesight checked, champ. Sears is a much nicer building, imo, but opinions vary.

Anyway, I didn't comment here to get embroiled in a trivial squabble. I meant no offence. I have a lot of affection for NYC.

[mrnyc]

^ it does resemble a combo of those two buildings.

but this one is leaps and bounds more complicated and upscale.

not necessarily any better looking on the outside than those tho.

i like all 3 as i would imagine most people who care at all do.
