Is this tower still known as the Steinway Tower?

I don’t think it was ever known as Steinway Tower. That was a nickname that caught on.

Really? It seems like a legit name and it fits well, I think it should be its official name. Deffinetly better than calling the tower by its address

I prefer Steinway because of the tie to NY history here in Manhattan and Astoria.

Hopefully they don’t brand it as the New York Staircase. Oh wait, that’s already a thing! (Yes, I know they’re looking for a new name for the Vessel)

Oh I knew that. My question wasn’t at you. I just think Vessel is unique, memorable and works just fine. Why change it?

I wasn’t expecting the 88th floor to take this long, but I understand it’s because of the tuned mass damper. I expect concrete to be done in late March

Isn’t there also a transition to steel at some point near the top?

Thats why we need to follow as many ‘under construction’ projects as possible, at the same time: otherwise these forums would be about as exciting as watching grass grow…hehe
