There are so many exciting new developments that are radically altering the skyline of New York. This is a thread for any creative individuals to take a crack at doing mock-ups of what the city might look like in the very near future with all the projects that are currently U/C and proposed. Looking forward to seeing what you guys come up with!

I would absolutely love to see someone do a future skyline mock-up from the the Whitestone Bridge vantage point. That’s my all-time favorite view of the skyline and the Billionaires Row towers, One Vanderbilt, etc. will completely dominate from that angle.

I viewed the Whitestone Bridge skyline last week on an incredibly clear morning and it really was really wonderful. Next time I will try to muster the guts to get out of the car and take some pictures. I will have to remember to bring my earplugs.

there is a skyscraper in this video game (starfield ) and hear me out: what if it was built in new york city, covering two blocks but building over the road with a bright white smooth concrete, and the building rising much much taller than the one in the game ( to abt the hight of the trashcan skyscraper supertall) and as it reaches the ground it. well ill have to find yall a picture. like the skyscrapers spreads out on those two blocks once it goes to the tenth floor down until its flush with the streets, one second ill get a picture.
