Man, this thing is beautiful. I do feel like the facade needs more work. I'd like to see more of that crown detail carried throughout the rest of the facade. The contrast is good and I do like it, but it's a bit dull compared to the crown and base. Maybe what I'm really wanting to see is more detail on those setbacks similar to the crown detail.
This building is really beautiful, though, and this one along with One Vanderbilt really are two of the best looking buildings to go up in New York in some time. I've always had reservations about big towers casting shadows on the Empire State Building and Chrysler Building, but I think this design is worthy of that.
I also really like 270 Park Avenue. The design is simple, but I have a feeling it's going to be a stunner, too.
