ok so basically the billboard on the left advertising the project is wider than the actual lot on which the building is being built?

The lot is 43 feet wide, and the tower base will also extend about 16 feet to the west into the footprint of the Steinway building.

But, yes, the Steinway is wider than the alley.

At this very slow pace, I'm guessing it won't clear the surrounding buildings until December/Janurary (looks like there's at least 5 more floors to go). Then it'll rise more rapidly hopefully!

I know the entire focus of the project, other than the awesome renders and setbacks, has been on the slender aspect of the building ... but it is still amazing to think about. Having been by the area several times, you still can't imagine something that tall coming from what looks like a little alley. It will be different once the front is build out and the building is merged with the historical building next door, but for now you can see the detail in how little the footprint is for something that is going past 432 ... amazing engineering.

Keep in mind that this is being built as an extension, or alteration to an existing building. Most of the new addition will be in that lot, but it's actually wider than that.

JDS Development Group LLC and Property Markets Group Inc.'s slender luxury residential tower just south of Central Park is, despite recent hurdles to financing such projects amid uncertainty of the New York luxury market, close to entering its final year of construction, thanks to the help of numerous law firms.

The 80-story condo building at 111 W. 57th St. is expected to be completed in early 2018 and rise to 1,438 feet, making it the second-tallest U.S. tower currently being built, according to Skyscraper Center.

Kasowitz Benson Torres & Friedman LLP and Kramer Levin Naftalis & Frankel LLP have scored work representing the developers, while Katten Muchin Rosenman LLP, Weil Gotshal & Manges LLP and Latham & Watkins LLP have gotten work on financing matters.....
