<<A “k” for close>> is something that would require explanation. Is that an idiom from a cartoon?
No. It’s just my inane way of saying it was a good try but it failed.
The nighttime lighting on this tower will forever be terrible.
I’m gonna have to agree with you Rob!

I also like this building, especially in person. Also, look how 450 11th Ave is progressing!! 
The last picture in your post shows one of the lights on the spiral lit in purple. If the lighting on the “terraces” can change colour, that would be amazing and possibly redeem the lighting scheme. I cropped it and pasted the oddity below for emphasis.
It’s also visible on the earthcam too.

K as in strikeout? Maybe better conveyed by equating this to the Mets

I admire that they stuck to the rendering and stuck the trees up there.

While that triggers my OCD, I also love seeing missing cladding that has not been placed on a nearly finished skyscraper. I got plenty of shots of that with buildings here in Philly and NYC
One Liberty Place late summer 1987
One Liberty Place late winter 1988
(You can still see plywood in place of missing panels on the gables)

I have to totally agree with you Thomas, 2017 was the last time I was in New York.
