Not only that, but I just love its location along the 57th street corridor!

Not only that, but think about all of the skyline views we will get!

Now the price of admission to the ESB, Top of the Rock and 1 WTC will be worth it, not to mention views from the surrounding areas.

That makes the building more impressive in a way.

Not every skyscraper needs to be a landmark.

We need diversity to attract developers to design more iconic looking towers at incredible heights to compliment the nearby towers.

I never noticed that before!
We have enough glass towers, this is exactly what we need to enhance the skyline!
