Fast forward, and its a zoo of cranes.

We are in a new age, a "glory" period of New York skyscraper construction. What will be some of the most prominent skyscrapers on the New York skyline are being built during this age.
I don't know what they will call it when history looks back, but there's no denying we are witness to a special time.
For me, this view from this block defines this era in New York. When One57 went up, it was seen as a giant on this stretch, with a damaged crane dangling 1,000 ft over Manhattan.
Not many years later, it will seem quaint compared to the two towers rising on either side. It changes that fast.
