This section of Town is going to look like Waterline Square on the other side of the island...but on most likely a wider scale.
If you want to call it thus, "height-geekiness" isn't exactly what's being marketed here.
"Density-geekiness" is far better term. While, say, 700' can be fairly deemed "supertall" here, it's going to boil down to how much...and most especially, the quality of what gets built.
Score another one for Sr. Viñoly here. Whereas he aimed for elegance and contextual setting with 277 5th, he expertly plays a "method to the madness" card here, and at a spot where it's going to get some serious attention, even as projects of similar height and designing merit sprout up nearby.
This is architectural genius at its...well...funkiest.
