I've always found this project rather dull but I do love the bases of the two buildings and the way they interact with each other.

Please forgive me if this has been answered before; but why is the core (as I perceive it from a construction POV) unusually far ahead of the rest of the structure?

Oddly enough, I've seen this with new construction in a lot of other cities both in the US and abroad with a good deal more frequency.

Whatever the case, it's getting up there.

Why is it that some skyscrapers have the core go super high while the rest of the building goes up much slower, and on others it seems like they're on par with each other all the way up? Comcast Tech in Philly was like this one here, where the core exceeds it exponentially.

Looking strikingly similar to the tower in Calgary, which is not a bad thing.

It's just differences in construction techniques. This kind of construction is called "slip-form", where the concrete core is poured continuously, and thus can proceed much faster than the surrounding steel frame.

same developer, so it might have been on purpose. The Calgary project is supposed to have two towers as well. I think the design for these towers has been on the table for a longer time though.

^Bumping this to thank you for the answer to what both Mr Saturn64 (IIRC) and I were asking.

But it doesn't seem to answer why the technique hasn't been used far more often here in NYC.

Is it cost, generally speaking?

One more note:

IMO, the dual-tower planning used quite often in Calgary is indeed reflected in this project; but most likely not by necessity.
There, however, it is, IIRC because it's more feasible overall rather than to have just one hella tall tower.
The up-side (albeit for Calgary and other towns that follow this model) is density.

The old expression "more bang for the buck" goes both ways.
