What a nice skyline. Perhaps I should capture it sometime. Maybe tomorrow on my birthday, when I’m there

It’s been years since they’ve finished construction, so why is the lighting for Central Park Tower and 111 W 57th St. not done? These buildings are so dark at night despite their soaring heights.

it seems a little counterintuitive, no? I’m sure there are myriad reasons but I couldn’t imagine building some of the tallest and most expensive properties in the country from the ground up, just to be “eh” about the finishing touches. Seems bizarre.

Both of those towers are having a One57 treatment lol
Because they’re residentials? And the billionaire residents don’t want lights shining into their bazillion-dollar condos?
That’s very understandable. But to have such prominent towers in the skyline still this dark? As they were proposed and do have the lighting? To be honest, they seem to not be in the residents way inside the towers as the lighting for CPT is on mechanical levels and the lighting for 111 West 57th is within the terracotta channels. Im very giddy and impatient about seeing both towers lit up, but like the Jedi say we need patience

270 Park is probably going to be fully lit before the towers on Billionaire’s Row at this rate

CPT’s lights were working for a while and all of a sudden the crown ones went dark a while ago so I assume they broke and they’ve not been fixed due to low priority which is a shame.
