One57’s flag was pretty tacky, made the building look even chintzier.

Right. But at least the thing worked at first. Not for long as it worked out.
considering this tower has rental apartments hopefully it will be more illuminated from the inside than the billionaires row towers on 57th street.

Even the condos will be more reasonably priced compared to manhattan. Most new condo buildings besides 57th street are reasonably well occupied, 111 Murray comes to mind as being fairly well lit
The hoist is coming down! The hoist was topped with three larger levels, now there’s only one

All of that just gave me goosey for some reason.Just the combo of that whole NYC image from a bird perspective, those close-up images of its facade,podium and crown and that exceptional view from Flatbush ave. and Grand Army Plaza.And,I think that reason is an exceptional and extraordinary one.The phenomenon is called eyegasm…

They are installing the last panes of glass on the south side; there was a lot of activity at the base today.
Also, new marble is being put in place, they are working on several “columns” simultaneously.

I was wondering why the steel portion of the podium was lagging behind the concrete one, good to know it’s catching up now though. It also looks like they are building up the substructure for the “extensions” on the corner section, I think that part will be the most amazing part of the modern portion of the base once complete.

^I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Michael Stern, JDS and SHoP deserve keys to the city for everything they have contributed to the skyline. They deliver a love letter to NYC every time.
