Sorry for the wide images, but I think it’s worth it. If you want smaller open the image and add l.jpg instead of the .jpg.

'Blandotel', the ugliest building in Midtown

Norfolk Southern is gonna do a good job bridging that void that always seemed to separate BOA and ATT Tower from the rest of Midtown

Yup that gap has been shrinking nicely for the last few years. Now we just need to work on the "SoNo" gap between BofA and downtown.

4-5 800-footers or more, peppered from Uptown to Downtown would really tie it all together nicely...

I look at them in landscape in my phone and they’re fine.

Would be great if the Cousin's Tower breaks ground before year's end.

I see the skyline has added a lot of girth to it in the form of those mid rises. It may be time for another supertall in the future.

It's annoying that they keep using that old render in articles. False hope.

I'm referring to the renderings not the construction.

The rendering Curbed and others continue to use is outdated. The tower was initially planned to be over 900ft, but is now planned at just over 700ft. In other words, instead of towering over the IBM Tower (or OAC, whichever), it will be 100 feet shorter.

Or about 80 feet taller than 1180 (which is 650' I believe).
