You’re 1 floor off (too many) there’s 5 more floors until the setback.

270 blocking the view of 111 West 57th St from Domino Park now
First supertall to rise on Park Avenue since 432 Park 
Though slightly hard to see in the live feed shot Mackensen posted, they installed the corner panels of the diamond on the Park Ave side today (they’ve already been installed on Madison).
The last floor’s cladding panels are also visibly waiting on that floor.
Of course! Just after I was there
What is that white building in the photo: so rich in sculptural detail and ornamentation at the top section. I doubt any of those beautiful architectural detail are clearly visible from street level. I never knew - I will try to find it by looking it up on google maps.
I know this thread is about 270, but that above photo by Mackensen stopped me in my tracks… 
It’s the building we forever blocked from view from Park Ave South by erecting the Pan Am tombstone in front of it.
Baronson — You’re right. The other unfortunate consequence of the PanAm/Met/Life building is what it detracted from the grandness of Grand Central from the south. I don’t think that tombstone, as you called it, should ever have been built.
The dark glass makes a nice backdrop for Helmsley.
Are you referring to 280 Park Avenue?
Found this image, but the site just leads to pop ups
Be careful

That look like the old, asymmetrical design.
I actually don’t mind the design of the building, just the location. Although I wonder if my opinion of the design is informed by it straddling Park Ave. If it was swapped with 1Penn near Penn Station, I’m not sure it would have the same effect. Although it would be overlooking another major (currently ugly) transit hub so it would fit in that aspect.
Anyway I’m rambling. Here’s 270 Park captured by Michael Young from 111w57th yesterday:
Nice find! It looks like the site you linked is some kind of spam site that scraped the image from the original source – I’ve found the original here, with a few additional interesting slides:
It seems to be someone’s work for an architecture school project, working off of the leaked NABTU diagrams from 2019 and modifying it with their own sustainability concepts.
I find it hard to believe that that was allowed without crediting F+P for the overall tower and Sinavae (i think that’s how its spelled) for using their renders. Especially in architecture school…
It’d be a different story if they were using an existing building, but they used a building that was very much nondisclosed to the public until actual renders were released well into the buildings construction.
That rendering has always been a mystery to me – I’ve never seen any attribution for its source, apart from first appearing in the YIMBY article about the leaked model photos. To me it seems different from Siniaevart’s rendering style at the time, but I could be wrong! I notice the rendering of 270 is also quite oddly scaled for its context photo, and clips incorrectly over 245 Park Avenue.
