Maybe its odd shape means that it's lighter than its height makes it seem.

Burj Khalifa is reinforced concrete all the way to 606 m (1,988 ft). Probably it's all about structural system.

^Is there a reason why I should see these other buildings in this thread??? I think we get it. . . but this thread is about Carnegie 57 for the record. . .

Obey · #**1065** Posted: **Mar 23, 2011, 11:58 PM**

Yeah, I think we got it the first time. Of course there are other reinforced concrete skyscrapers.

patriotizzy · #**1066** Posted: **Mar 24, 2011, 12:48 AM**

I like to see other examples, as long as it doesn't go on for more than one page. Thanks SkyscrapersOfNewYork

...is not a question...and it has little to nothing to do with Carnegie 57. And I thought the new posts would be pictures. Silly me.

EXCELLENT UPDATE nycdagreatest.. Thanks

I'm so stoked to watch this tower rise

That's Alwyn Court. And it's definitely one of the most ornate buildings in the city. It also has a nice atrium. But it used to be even more impressive. At some point it was remodeled and the original cornice was removed (the current cornice is from a restoration).

Petrossian occupies retail space at the corner so you can pick up $13K tins of caviar on your way back home from work.

Jonovision · #**1075** Posted: **Mar 25, 2011, 8:21 PM**

I love that this tower is rising beside such a lovely old building. The juxtaposition will be fantastic!

Obey · #**1076** Posted: **Mar 26, 2011, 1:53 AM**

^^^ I just noticed that building, really beautiful. As for Carnegie 57: slow but steady, slow but steady.

Question for someone more familiar with the plans than I: In this photo you can see that there are some tall, thin pillars right up front. Will they be load bearing or is the building going to taper back so that the load will be resting on thicker pillars in the interior that I just can't see?

Lecom · #**1078** Posted: **Mar 26, 2011, 5:20 PM**

That's one massive lobby.

The towers mass is further back.

Thanks so much Vandelay! I'll have to pass by it sometime
