Limestone makes perfect sense, and is every bit as 21st Century as 20th Century, perhaps even more.
This is an Upper East Side building. Limestone is timeless, extremely expensive, and reeks of real wealth. I suspect it will always be used in luxury buildings, especially in neighborhoods like the Upper East Side.
It also distinguishes NYC from anywhere else. A glass tower could be in Shenzhen or Baku or Lagos. Where else on the planet do they build limestone towers?
