^ You people keep forgetting that this is an extension of an existing building.

I don't know what you are talking about, but there is only one right now. And of the group we will get, they are primarily focused on one street. And the New York skyline is obviusly
much more than that street. Meanwhile, the city will keep building the supertall and bulky office towes that will throw more of a shadow than any "slim" supertall.
As far as I'm concerned, the city needs the slimmer towers to return the skyline to it's peak glory days, and we are witnessing the natural evolution of the city's skyline. Not every city will
build the thin towers, but New York can and will. The skyline can absorb it.
This building in particular, with it's setbacks will be a dramatic addition, especially when viewed from the ground.
Comparing aspect ratio to current world's tallest...
