So many new buildings including Beekman Place have gone up in the last ten years that almost totally block certain views of the WTC and especially the Woolworth Building. One day it may require a 2,000 foot building to stake any kind of dominance in Lower Manhattan, at least that prospect becomes more and more realistic with each project like this.

I expect that 80 South would challange the WTC more than this one, but yeah, 45 Broad will definitely be noticeable, bringing more of a focal point back towards the financial district classics.
