Well, she's almost done, along with 1 WTC and 4 WTC.

Although i should reserve final comment for after this building is complete, it does not seem imposing or dominating at all. I don't know why but this tower doesn't grow on me at all.

^^Have you seen it in real life? It dominates over everything and photos do not do it justice.

It has always looked to me as if it dominates in the photos also!

If everyone pools in on rent for one of the rooms in this tower we could use it for SSP get togethers.

Count me in for that!

The curved / sloped roof is definitely starting to take shape. For some reason I find the pixelated glass patterning to be more successful on the east facade then the west facade. But I'll have to make my final determination when the tower is done.

NYGuy, this picture!! I know it's an unintended effect, but I LOVE how the "ESSEX HOUSE" sign is highlighted by this building, especially at night!loving this one.

Off topic, but what is that building in the foreground that looks like it S-curves with the roof line stepping down in a stair-like pattern? I've never noticed that before.

^^^ It's insane how much has changed in that shot in the last two or even one and a half'ish years, it's not even a very wide shot. I get the feeling it won't be looking just like that for very long either.

That building is Clinton park.

While we're asking questions about other buildings, what's the name of that building going up to the right or One57?

^^There are three buildings under construction there, the boxy building in the center of the photo is 250W55, and the tall one behind that is 1715 Broadway. It's difficult to tell, but in between those two buildings is a smaller Kaufman-designed hotel.

So much construction in NYC...
