OCTOBER 1, 2020
We are now seeing 3 of the 5 tallest buildings in the country nearing completion, all within months of each other, if not weeks - Central Park Tower, 111 West 57th (Steinway), and One Vanderbilt. That's impressive. Not even the Empire State/Chrysler/40 Wall trio was as tightly spaced in time.
Decided to check out the finishing touches on the crowns, the most visible parts of these towers on the skyline.
This one, One Vanderbilt, comes with an exciting new observation deck (joining a new wave of observation decks in the city). Not only will this become an icon on a skyline of many, it will serve double duty as tourists attraction. And count me in, because I can't wait to get up there. The street level is nicely done, and the plaza, while not open yet, looks like a very nice addition to the area. Nice all around.
Took a walk up Park Avenue to get a look, still more work to come.
