NEW YORK | Central Park Tower (217 W 57th St) | 1,550 FT | 98 FLOORS

Interesting. That’s one way of looking at it. Others, I think, see it as a huge government handout. Corporate welfare as it were. And although that might be a mistaken interpretation of things, opposition on such grounds hardly counts as “Marxist.” Quite the opposite I should think!

But in any case, back on topic!

I deleted all of the rubbish with Amazon. Let’s keep this about CPT. Whats done is done. The Amazon thread will reopen if there is real news about it.

Yeah i seriously can’t believe it. Just the last 200 ft of this building would be the tallest building in every county except one here in Wisconsin. 200 ft in New York is different than 200 feet anywhere else.

Josh85, I agree with you. Today I don’t understand why midtown manhattan to built ugly tower. You know I prefer better before is Twin Towers WTC and Empire State Building tallest buildings only.

One57 is ugly from most angles. What’s bizarre about Portzamparc is that he had another (pretty nice design) project on 57th Street, the LVMH tower. But Gary B probably fell in love with him over the hotel in Paris at bottom.
