Nicer images I saw on SkyscraperPage
“Lack of affordable housing” and its billionaire’s row ![]()
What an uninspired design, especially for such a prominent location.
1000’ filler
It sounds nuts, but I’ve been thinking for a while that some “1000’ filler” is exactly what the Billionaires Row skyline needs. The main towers are so cartoonishly tall compared to their surroundings, a visual “middle layer” between those peaks and the 700-800’ Midtown plateau would make things more balanced and pleasing to the eye. (Ideally I’d like to see a couple of supertalls just to the south and west of Columbus Circle but I don’t know of any projects in the works.)
Give it time they’ll show up.
In the meantime we’re getting several 1,000 ft - 1,200 ft buildings going up in between the really big ones. Should make it look really nice.
