Lol.

Part of the problem is the fact that spire heights aren't included in official DOB filings, but are shown on drawings in the zoning diagram. The drawings are usually a reliable source for height, but this one hasn't had an updated filing.

As far as filings, these are the last two that reflect building heights...

This is certainly one of the best towers to come along in the city recently. Little denying it, this will be worthwhile!

Does that document show 1,602' to the very top of the spire?

That's an old zoning envelope graphic. There hasn't been an update filed.

One Vanderbilt, Midtown East’s supertall office tower, is poised to rise
The supertall hit a milestone this month: its foundation is now in place

BY AMY PLITT
FEB 8, 2017

Construction on One Vanderbilt, the 1,401-foot office tower that’ll soon loom over Midtown East, has been moving right along since the project’s groundbreaking last October. Several commercial buildings next to Grand Central Terminal were demolished in 2016, paving the way for the tower’s rise—and exposing the western edge of the glorious Beaux Arts train station in the process—and work has been humming along in the months since.

And now, a milestone has been reached at One Vandy, according to developer SL Green: over the weekend, the enormous foundation for the supertall structure was poured. To give a sense of what it takes to prepare for the city’s second-tallest office tower (it’ll be bested only by One World Trade Center), here are some stats: 8,500 tons of concrete were poured, using 420 trucks over 16 hours; the foundation is nearly 10 feet deep, and approximately 113,400 cubic feet was filled in.

This is just the beginning for the building: When it’s completed in 2020, it’ll span more than 1 million square feet over 58 stories, and will have a 30,000-square-foot amenity space for tenants. There will also be a public observation deck, perched a terrifying 1,020 feet above ground—making it one of the highest in the city.

On the street level, the building will add a public plaza and new connections to the subway and Metro-North, including a huge new entrance for the 4/5/6 lines.

It's like a christening of the bow for a new ocean liner.

I'm really impressed by how quickly we've gotten to the point we're at now - the demo - the digging - the foundation pour. Once we get up to street level, this will rise in no time.

The good ole days are back on East 42nd...

^Amazing find. Thanks for sharing, NYguy. Not much has changed in the way of construction methods!
