NEW YORK | 53W53 (Tower Verre) | 1,050 FT | 73 FLOORS

It looks like that may be where the floors/columns change, so perhaps that’s why it slowed down. It also didn’t help that there was a concrete teamstsr strike for a couple of days.

Lads,

I was on the Met rooftop on July 21st, and people from all over the world were marveling at the Midtown skyline. Can you imagine what this view will look like in a few years with:

Verre
Steinway
Nordstrom
One Vanderbilt
Time Warner
425 Park, etc!

Verre has hit the slopes!!!

This is the BBC of skyscraper news coverage, lads! No forum covers NY nearly as good as we do, and no forum obviously has the leads that Yimby provides!

Thanks Dragon! It’s quite a unique feature for this tower architecturally.

You’re welcome as well, Wiggleworth! ^^
And this tower is really unique already. That’s why is one of the NYC skyscrapers that I’m so eagerly looking forward to see it complete. I’m sure it’ll be prettier and spectacular in reality than in the renders!

I’ve always liked these twin fountains across the street.
