I know it’s a small detail but I actually like the vertical stripes/strips of LEDs and glad it’s not a full grid. Looks good IMO.
It’s a really welcome surprise IMO. Adds a lot of character to the building and the skyline. I also think that 1 Penn’s lighting stripes turned out better than I thought. They can do theme colors to match other big skyline things. I’ll always miss the ‘red 1 of doom’ logo but the new lighting helps modernize.
Next up we should see 50 HY and the Spiral. I have higher hopes for the spiral, I have a feeling 50 HY will be mediocre at night
A bit of topic but is 50 HY at its full height of 1011 ft? It looks a lot shorter than Manhattan West which is at 995 ft. I’m guessing the elevation is a big factor here as well.
Manhattan West looks taller because it was built on a platform like Phase 1 of the Railyard. Also, the sea level elevation is higher.

A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one!

Looks like the top of 1 & 2 MW are going to have really nice multi-colored crowns! Once we get to see how the completed Phase 1 of HY add to the area at night, I think we can say NY has come a long way as we enter the 2020s!
