I was thinking the same thing!

The facade is an instant classic and a possible landmark.

It's hard to think of ways to improve such a great design. I thoroughly love it.
Though it would be even greater to be able to see even just a hint . .
of a traditional copper or stainless steel roof-shape gesture . .
to unapologetically slam the look down solid.

Out of this new crop of building-boom skyscrapers . . so far . .
this one best celebrates NYC wisely emulating its own glorious past . .
an option equal to forging ahead experimentally into a futuristic style . .
I think "Retro-futurism" (a combination of both attitudes) . .
would be absolute best urban style excellence though . .

I'm no expert, but I wonder what it takes for a building to earn landmark status?

I think the planned roof is phenomenal and pretty special looking.

If the crown vents aren't brass/bronze/copper/stainless/etc. I'd consider this building a missed opportunity. I hope they don't cheap out on the most visible part.

30 Park Place Reveals Sprawling New Penthouse for $32.5M

Quote:

Compared to many new super-duper luxury developments, Silverstein Properties's 30 Park Place is relatively affordable, at least from the perspective of a billionaire. The most expensive unit—or rather, the most expensive that has been revealed—is asking "only" $65 million, and that's not even one apartment; it's a combo of two units, one of which will soon hit the market for $32.5 million (the other is currently listed at $29.5 million, so there is clearly no two-for-one discount). At 6,554 square feet, it is the largest individual unit currently available (and the second largest in the building), and new renderings give a glimpse inside the Robert A.M. Stern-designed space, showing off the library, 427-square-foot loggia, and living room. The condo occupies half of the 78th and 79th floors, and features five bedrooms, six bathroom (plus a powder room), a fireplace, and a private elevator.

Penthouse 78A isn't quite at the pinnacle of 30 Park Place; there will be full-floor penthouses on floors 80 and 81, but they have yet to hit the market. Penthouse 81 will hold the distinction of offering the highest private outdoor space for a residential unit, coming in at 869.5 feet. The PR team says this is the highest space downtown, but it's likely the highest private terrace in the whole city. (We can't think of any building that would top it, but if we're wrong, you know what to do.)

The crown looks amazing, NYguy!

I agree - jsbrook - the roofs are "phenomenal" . . and "special" as well. . . absolutely. .
I was being overly fussy with wanting to push the design . .
to my own version of absolute perfection . . . and this one comes very very close to it.
and at only 32.5 million ! . . reasonably priced . . for such a prestigious perch.
