Yes, I was. Thank you.

[Ryan81]

DAMN! Xing Lin - really outstanding work! Thanks for your effort. Keep em' coming.

[pianowizard]

Wow, looks more realistic than the official renderings!

[Xing Lin]

Thank you guys!!
Here's a bonus edit of the rendering by ATChain, notably the first rendering of this building that was released and likely an early Foster+Partners design iteration:

Also 175 Park will most likely have some lighting to go along with it.

Yes, my guess is that the crown and wind-break floors might have some kind of back-lighting:

Though of course this depends on whether there are any changes to the design of the exoskeleton of 175.

"wind-break floors might have some kind of back-lighting:" You sure those are wind break floors? Every up close rendering shows them more as like amenity floors for the tenants. And besides this isn't a 57th Street super skinny it shouldn't really need them.

[Xing Lin]

Regardless of their use, they're open-air floors with only the central core and perimeter columns which is structurally the same thing as the wind-breaks you'd find on e.g. 432 Park or the Wanda Vista.

True true.

Perfect!

Some of the renderings hint at lighting on the north and south. We’ll have to see.






Cam pics…

I had the same question recently. Here's the link he gave.

And wow! This thing is already in the 400-foot range.

[NYguy]

Oh yeah, I just assumed everyone was looking at it. It's the greatest show in Midtown currently!
