This tower has gotten very narrow from it’s initial form. The original design has a height to width ratio of 1:18, and with it’s shortened and narrowed new form, it is now 1:22. So it will be 2nd narrowest building in the world (atleast that I can think of) since 111 West 57th St is 1:24.5 or so.
But this narrowing won’t/hasn’t really helped with anything relating to the ESB viewpoint because while it did narrow in footprint in both directions, the E/W faces were the most narrowed.
I wonder how the street level area will be designed.
