You’re very worked up about this. The new building is way more hideous.

Its kind of concerning this building still doesnt have an actual render and its almost a quarter way up lol

[TKDV]

Do you mean of the updated VE’ed design or the project in general, if in general there are multiple official renders (excluding any presumptuous unofficial ones) that show the previous design from early 2024.

Construction Update: The Torch at 740 Eighth Avenue — FIELD CONDITION

[TK2000]

The podium portion is now a little over halfway up. In that photo from SSC, the tower to the right (Platinum Condo NYC) is 496 feet tall. The first setback on the podium is at 508 feet (39th floor), the next one at 532 feet (40th floor), then the next one at 587 feet. Then the thin “neck” starts construction. It looks like the tower is currently on the 25th floor, maybe the 26th floor

The building is rising very fast!
