Glad you guys like it, that new angle is fantastic!
From New York yimby
Major Comcast Technology Center vibes in those close ups, bringing me back to early 2018
The fins will be cladded with glass right?
Yes, and metal
Psst - ‘Cladded’ is not a word (It’s just ‘clad’).
I did not know this
You learn something new everyday.
Look at the size of those steel box beams, and the amount of cross section supports: massive structural support. My guess is that the structural engineers tested for the maximum shear forces for winds in our area; then structured those fins to withstand 10X times that maximum load. Better safe than sorry.
That filthy, broken down tenement on 55th St and other garbage like it really detracts from NY.
This 1960s/70s garbage is also a disgrace.
Sorry, I’m not much of a fan.
425 Park Avenue is looking fantastic!
I agree! We just gotta see these fins cladded now
I wonder what that white thing to the immediate left of the crane is? I keep seeing them up there, but have no idea what they are.
