IMO, One57 was never stellar or good. I'll give it credit for being the precursor to the greatest boom ever, and the grand daddy of the 57th Street corridor, but in terms of the design, years later, it kinda doesn't have wow factor.
520 Park is the most refined and pure towers in terms of capturing that pre-war, 20's look. But 220 CPS is a great tower. One of Sterns top works.
Kinda thinking about it, One57 would fit more at home in LIC. 220 CPS is just made for the area that its in, but One57 aims for that more modern, futuristic look, and LIC is definitely modern in terms of its surroundings.
