Stunning

NY's skyline is certainly getting back to where it belongs.

I don't know if it's just me but 1WTC has such an iconic feel to it.I don't know,maybe the way it's shaped;it just feels like "New York,New York".

One57 is certainly a great tower too.

It takes after the two towers that used to be there. The iconic, dominant view of the NYC skyline. And not, One 57 is becoming a part of it.

That's how I've felt about it for a while now. It seems like it's always been a part of the city--yet it's such a new building.

There's also something about One57 that makes it instantly fit in as a residential building. It has a kind of classic shape with a new feel to it. It's strange how the shapes of buildings can give them associations with certain thoughts.

I understand and agree with the comments/opinions as well.
It's as if One57 was designed with it's intended location in mind from the very start.

The skyline views clearly illustrate its visual impact.
Look at how One57, ESB and One WTC all stand out, yet are miles apart.
That's New York!
