Wow, the elevators and skyboxes look pretty cool. Looking forward to this opening.

The second and third picture looks a lot like an illusion.

Oh well. It's a far more handsome tower than that bloated leaning beast topping Hudson Yards.
I agree about the proportions, it's not symmetrical enough IMO. Looks like a glassy, weird looking version of the Jin Mao or Petronas Towers.

It's not too bad, still a neat building. Disagree about 30HY though, I like the crown a lot on that building, maybe its proportions are also a bit odd though.

How awesome is it that there will be two outdoor observatories that you could easily visit in the same day via the 7 Train. I'll be making a day trip out of it for sure.

^ If and when the Chrysler gets up and running, you could visit 5 outdoor decks in Midtown.

Midtown could have six outdoor decks when Tower Fifth is completed.

I'm hoping Downtown BK gets a supertall deck in the coming years, as I think that perspective would be really interesting.

That would be great. The city has such a unique geography, that’s why I wanted the SI wheel built. More to the Big Apple than Manhattan.

The SI Wheel is being built, but downsized, and by a different operator. Hopefully there will still be great skyline views:
