Residential towers changing the city’s skyline
The 1,397-foot-tall rectangle turned heads around the city when it soared above Midtown in 2015. The 85-story building’s penthouse and mechanical floors were the city’s first ever to rise higher than the highest levels at One World Trade Center.
The SHoP-designed, reed-like spire rises 1,428 feet high as it tapers to a narrow fin. Bearing a slenderness ratio of 1:24 (the height-to-width ratio), the 82-story condo ranks as the world’s skinniest building.
The 98-story supertall rises 1,550 feet to its pinnacle, making it the tallest apartment building in the western hemisphere. When measured by roof height, the tower ranks as the world’s tallest building outside of Asia.
