That's the Rockaways. It's like a sandbar peninsula beyond the bay.

Closer look at it here. Still needs a spire or something.

Definitely.

In that render it looks like the roof is at the very top, as opposed to the current trend of having a parapet around exposed mechanicals, like 432 PA or WTC-1 where the actual roof is significantly lower.

There's definitely a parapet. It's to hide most of the "ugly" stop at the top, though it probably wouldn't hide the new maintenance unit.

Tonight’s exclusive first look: Central Park Tower @147 W 57, the definitive NY skyscraper (see tallest structure)... the condo’s ‘Central Park Club’ on the 100th floor will feature a grand ballroom, private bar, dining room and wine/gaming/cigar lounge. The views will be WOW!

If only they add a spire the tower will have a huge impact on the skyline

If I may, two off-topic things:

1. Are they making TV/53W53shorter than it is for a reason? Or is it a perspective thing?

2. What's the tower being highlighted in the foreground?

It appears to be a proposed tower at 9th Ave. and 41st Street. Maybe another planned Extell tower? There's another existing tower a block north, but it looks different.

That's an Extell property. "The Orion" 350 W 42nd.

Perspective and location. It will look smaller than it is because of those taller buildings and the mass of buildings that surround it.

Thanks for those Streetscaper. The crown actually looks decent in those renderings.

The eastern projection of the tower rises too high. The design would be so mush more graceful if the cantilevered section was 100-150 feet shorter.
