We don't want a flat skyline where everythng blends in nicely with no contrasting heights - that's what midtown had become.
I love how the skyline is transforming!

If we only have 1 WTC to the south, ESB in the center and 432 PA uptown, then we have settled.

I am thrilled that the developers have decided to not settle!

In the many years I have been visiting NYC, I have never experienced a time when the city was not under construction.

This city is fluid, dynamic and ever-changing!
When W. 57th becomes the tallest canyon in Midtown, we still have other areas that can redevelop.

Just look at the West Side if you want proof of that!

I feel same for the lighting of the gaps/voids/open areas.

This view will change dramatically by 2020. La Revolución!!!

Just thinking of the affect of Nordstrom and Steinway.

So as a mental exercise, use that diagram that NYguy posted, and imagine the impact of all of those super talls.

Think about this; we are about to get even more skinny supertalls very soon!
NYC is even more exciting when extraordinary developers do dramatic things!
