Great news that this joins the super tall section. We now have 11 threads where its 300m+. 12 if you count 2 WTC, which isn't going anywhere.
But nevertheless, good news.
Let this soak in, but prior to 2008 (before BOA was complete), NYC had just three super talls (NY Times, Chrysler, and ESB). Complete that is, as the Twins were not around at that time.
If we go to 2010, 4 supertalls with the completion of Bank of America.
Fast forward to 2014, with the completion of One57 and NY Times (which kinda cheats with its pencil spire, but nevertheless, at a respectable 1,046 ft.
4 years later.... 4 YEARS later, we have 11 super talls U/C, 1 on-hold.
In 4 years, we literally doubled the EXISTING count.
WHEN all is SET and DONE, there will be 24 super talls, assuming 80 South, 145 East 60th (if it becomes reality @ 1000-1200 ft), 247 Cherry, and 262 5th.
Can't forget JP Morgans future HQ. So 25!
IF NYC was a country of its own, it would have more super talls than all other countries combined bar UAE and China.
The rate NYC is going, might eclipse Dubai in the near future.
A lot can happen 2018+, so the count might increase as there are several large assemblages at play.
But anyways, happy friday and
