Beautiful shots indeed. We just need to get rid of Gene Kaufman weeds that pollute the forest to the south of the Port Authority Bus Terminal.

The rising tower is relatively easy to pinpoint from the west, but from the east, gets lost in the forest of Midtown.

Ultimately it's just a filler tower anyway. At least it's a great filler that fits the area, contributes to the canyon, does its part to create a much-needed extension for the overflowing Times Square zone (there are only so many tourists you can cram in one square), adds density, etc.

I love that corner with the curve and the glass. Very retro-modern.

I cant even imagine the safety procedures that the workers have to deal with considering there are a billion people walking around underneath there.

This tower is looking alot like the Times Building across the street. The facade on the 41st street side reminds me that of the Bank of America Tower.

This tower is very close to a top out. Amazing progress in such a short period of time.

Great Update... And the pictures are nice to see again. They make me want to go back to New York. Not to live just visit. It is too busy there. Even though my husband would like to live there. Are these images you took yourself? If so, then photography should be your line of work.

Thanks for sharing the update
Jen
