This building is actually every bit as visible on the skyline from NJ (think Lincoln Tunnel Helix) as One57. I look forward to the giant glowing cube on top.
I was just sharing a tidbit of information. Sorry I offended you. I imagine someone on this forum appreciated it.
And yes, I care more about the tower rising too.
I'm glad you posted that info. It was something new for me to learn. I would no way call Letterman a has been.
But, back to the topic on thread, this is a great looking tower. Will look forward to seeing the finished item.
Deserves to be on top of this page.
I always liked this building, even when he was just a "plan". Now seeing it almost done, my expectations were confirmed.
Latest photos of 1715 Broadway. The scale is lost because the neighborhood is so built up, but it's enormous. A few floors left till topping-out, but it's getting close.
Btw there's no way this one's topped out, I mean the upper portion is missing, at least. Also, what's up with those "pre - top out" ceremonies lately? One57, 4WTC etc being some examples...
Yeah I'll have to agree, what's going on with that neighborhood?
That's Hell's Kitchen, a famous and well-preserved historical district full of beautiful pre-war lowrise buildings. Hopefully no skyscrapers are ever built there - it's one of the last neighborhoods of its kind in Midtown.
I think it is the last. The least that can be done to give the illusion that Midtown reaches from the East River to the Hudson is to surround Hell's Kitchen with quality highrises. West Side development should be able to do that.
