That’s because of the zoning. They placed the largest of the towers around the subway station, which makes sense. But it doesn’t make for great skyline impact, especially because the rezoning was meant to accomodate behemoths with large floor plates. Added to that is the fact that you have these big boys rising at the same time (imagine if 3 Hudson were rising as planned). But I still believe it will balance out more when phase 2 is built, and the towers to the north begin to fill in. 30 Hudson will still struggle to keep it’s head above water.
All that being said, it’s nice when you can complain about too many big buildings in one area. Many people would be ecstatic to watch just one rise.
