The lucky few, so to speak. Even if you could put 300 additional units up there, its still a precious few that would be able to enjoy those views, just as it is everywhere else. It's one of the reasons I do appreciate the observation decks in the city, and at least 3 more will open (downtown, west side, grand central) where we can take in the city from above. It gives a whole new appreciation.
Not all of the new skyscrapers will have the best experiences though, or even the most expensive units...

Lower Manhattan’s landmark Woolworth Building, once the tallest skyscraper in the world, is setting another record. Developers are seeking $110 million for the penthouse apartment in the pinnacle of the 58-story tower, a proposed offering plan filed with New York State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman’s office shows.
Nine Floors
The $110 million penthouse is about 8,975 square feet with a 584-square-foot terrace. The four-bedroom condo with a private elevator spans nine stories, with the primary living space on the 50th and 51st floors, according to the offering plan. A great room and wine cellar make up the 53rd floor, and the 55th through 58th levels in the cupola include a library or media room and an observation deck at the top, the plan shows.
