They removed part of the spire so that the crane can pass over the top of the building to continue delivering pieces of facade for them to install. They will be reinstalling the rest of the spire when done. But that should be in a few months. Maybe by Summer or just before?

Just curious hear...can someone explain what happened photographically to the upper completed facade on both the north and west sides of the building where the texture went missing? I can understand the angle of the shot maybe causing one side to refract differently but not both sides. And ideas out there?

It's a shot from later last year, notice the top piece of the spire is still on

I was wondering why certain lower floors are the same height as the penthouse floors. The third floor up from the shadow line, 17 floors up from the shadow line with the yellow missing window. Are they special built floors for certain pre-leased tenants? And what is the average floor height vs. the penthouse floor height? Does anyone know?

I was also wondering if the upper tower will glow with the sunlight hitting it when finished. Perhaps the glass is too reflective to allow enough light to penetrate through to the other side. I might be a cool effect if the opposite glass is illuminated however. This is one beautiful building.

That could be a mechanical floor, but the office floors are of various heights, for marketing purposes (SL Green explained this in one of the videos). It's one of the reasons the tower is so tall despite the relatively low number of floors.

One Vanderbilt will feature floor-to-ceiling slab heights between 14.6ft and 20ft, column-free floorplates and state-of-the-art building systems to provide best-in-class office space in New York. The floor-to-ceiling windows of the tower will also provide 360° views for tenants.

There was an article in Crains about the spire. Maybe someone will get it.

Meanwhile, I see that Vandy doesn't get a mention in the new 30 Hudson deck brochure. That's fair I guess. It isn't completed.

Oh boy...hints of completed look happening...cladding covering most of the obs deck floors on the west face, looking impressive even with the still truncated spire. Can't wait for May.

Used some vooduu magic to bypass that stupid pay wall.

Spire will be reinstalled in May

1 Vandy construction is still on schedule, maybe even ahead as they were 6 months ago. The top 2 spire pieces went up, and then down, really quickly. There is a cost but I imagine it's baked into the total no problemo.

Chris Ward shouldn't be allowed to speak of spires ever again in life.

Finally got a decent look at The Summit (the observation deck) and its Madison Avenue ledges from an SL Green investors presention from last year. Also a graphic on floor slab heights and other information about the tower...

About 1020-1050 feet or 310-320 meters since it takes up a few floors.

I have tried to like this building but just can't. It's so bulky and the crown just looks skimpy and plopped onto the design in a way that isn't at all cohesive. The toothpick on top is even sadder.
