I didn't mean detract in the sense that there's not room for other towers. Just that these ones are out-of-place and not attractive (in my eyes) and diminish the masterpieces that are 111 W. 57th and Tower Verre. But you are probably right, and the renders for both Big Bend and Zaha's tower probably are not what we'll actually get. Can't wait to see the cladding on 111 W. 57th. It's got to be close now!
