It's exciting, and there is so much to get excited about with this one. It feels like we are back in another era.

Wow this looks amazing in the skyline. Love the lighting. I'm sure it changes colors but im glad they went with blue as the default color.

It looks like they are still testing. It also looks like they can do an Empire State type lighting as well as a Chrysler type lighting. Interesting. We saw earlier that they can also do the animated light shows like the ESB and others. I don't remember the light at the top of the spire from the last time.

Yeah, this looks great. Really complements the Chrysler Building quite well.

Have they announced an architect for the supertall on the Grand Hyatt site? I'm curious, given the location, how they reference the Chrysler and 1 Vandy, given that the tower will be located right between these two icons.

Haven't seen anything about an architect yet. That approvals process will get underway next year, so there's probably someone working on it already.

I really love the golden/bronze base of Vanderbilt, and it reminded me of what we saw with 270 Park Avenue. I really hope we keep with that, and stay away from the blue glass in this part of town. The Grand Hyatt team will try to outdo Vanderbilt. And KPF itself could be part of that team.

^ Having a new office building hit the market right now, 2/3 pre-leased seems like a big win for the developer. Mostly finance and legal tenants, which should be pretty sticky and fit the profile of the building well. When the economy rebounds, this building should lease up the remaining 1/3 pretty easily, I'd imagine. I wonder if the developer will look to sell, or refi and hold pending lease up.

This is the definition of a “trophy” tower, and especially so for SL Green, the city’s largest office landlord. They don’t actuallu build as much as other developers typically do. There are currently about 5 office towers in some form of construction in Midtown (270 Park the only one in midtown east) that are larger than Vanderbilt.

It’s actually been rotating between blue and white since the building opened.

Wow, these pictures make me miss NYC so much. Had a wonderful trip there last October for an annual thing, obviously not happening this year. It is great to see things finishing I saw being built, and excited to get back next year (I hope!) to see this and others in person.

Next year things should be closer to normal. The observation deck is not scheduled to open until next fall, but the other decks, including 30 Hudson will be open. Lots of new things to check out.
