It is crazy how short and slender it looks in comparison to some of the supertalls in Midtown.

1 and 2 MW would’ve been much nicer is they had crowns like this.

Very elegant.

I think the crown is a mess!

Completely agree – the exposed mechanicals and support beams are a particularly unsatisfying (and unsightly) culmination to an otherwise graceful tower. I’m still hoping they get covered up somehow, but I doubt it.

The crown does have a cool, curvy form: but if those mechanicals and support beams remain in place then that is a mess. I still give this a C+ passing grade for not being an entirely ‘generic’ building: any developer that constructions something more than building standard functionality and maximum profitability is going ‘above-and-beyond’ IMHO. In other words; this building does NOT look “caca”.

The least they could do is paint the entire interior of the crown matt black.

Yes, or put some sort of ‘roof’ on the top that contours along the curves. I know it is easy for us all to criticize from the detached distance of our computer screens: but, here are two good suggestions and possible solutions. That ‘matt black’ finishes on every surface within the crown is actually a good - and easily doable - solution.
