Love those skyline views to see the impact that the W will have!

Does that hotel offer roof access?

I took a few classes at Terra Hall at UArts, and I would speculate that some of the higher floors there offer pretty good views of both this and Comcast Tech. If anyone has those views, please send us pictures.

So I have a question; will this tower top out about where the crane operator is located at?

If so we can have a pretty good idea of the full impact the tower will have on the skyline as well as the night light on the city in general.

It will top out nearly 75% up the space between the crane cab and the top floor on the photo above

That's good height relative to the RaTR. It's already above RaTR, and I thought it was only 80ft taller than RaTR. Your estimation seems a lot taller.

7 floors of glass that we think are good. Plus 2 more down below that we think are bad.

Hey, just repeating a question that appeared earlier in the thread...can't locate answer: What's happening on the blank North Facing Wall? Veneer trim, concrete coating, glazing?
Thanks for the update.

We don't know yet. No artist renderings and actual product to date inconclusive.
