i know the tower isn't fully finished yet, but it is very short before that...enough to vote i think. and it is a lots of work to change all the titles again in a few weeks :). I'll change the pics when it is fully completed

9/10 from me :)

9/10, it fits NY but the spire doesnt.

[TRMD]

8/10

I love the design and the cladding, but it could be little taller and thinner.

[_00_deathscar]

Modern classic. If only this were in Hong Kong...

10/10.

[Nielsiej13]

8,5/10. This tower is great. but I don't like the spire/antenna

[ChrisZwolle]

The spire is not very New York. The base looks fine though. I give it a 7.5 because it doesn't really add something valueable to the NY skyline imo.

[MDguy]

9.5/10, I love it. Its one of my favorites

[Wu-Gambino]

I'm going to hold off until we get some more pics here, but from what I've seen, it's worth a 7.5 or an 8.

[stanleymalls]

So not the spire! So not NY!

8! :?

[FROM LOS ANGELES]

Striking design and cladding! But, the spire seems like a cheap shot just to get some extra feet for the height. 8/10.

[philvia]

perfect in non direct light!!! during direct light, the cladding sucks big time.
love the shape and spire though, shame it has to be so big.

[MasonicStage™]

7,5/10...okay, I guess

[Þróndeimr]

Perfect for NYC, though i have to agree with many that the mast doesn't belong there. 8/10

8/10

Looks nice but the base gets too wide, either that or the top gets too thin too fast

Beautiful shape 8.5/10

[loytm]

the design for the base and the middle is okay...quite nice...has creativity on it...but as soon as i like to the top..oh my god...!!! spire again...

i dun mind a short one..but this spire is so long as well...like the New York Times Building...spire doesnt fit into New York...everybody says that...not nice...

[rockin'.baltimorean]

9/10, it fits NY but the spire doesnt.
c'mon now!! this is NYC's skyline. anything will do!!:okay:

[ZZ-II]

NY is a city of spires, i think it fits there :)

[varaždinec]

nice skyscraper, bad photos..soory my bad comment.

[MelboyPete]

7/10 Love the facade however I think the spire looks too tall and doesn't fit in with this building IMO.

[shapeboy]

perfect shape! 8.5/10

9.5/10

[kazetuner]

it's a world class tower. the only counter-part is that it has too many buildings around it, it looks like locked in the middle of the city. it's still a 10/10

[Rutger1991]

9/10 Great building for NY, the spire sucks though!!!^^

[Gerard]

8.5/10 Facade not as good as i hoped from the renders. But still great.

oh dear

Huge glass panel falls 50 storeys in NY
August 13, 2008, 9:22 am
A 680kg glass panel being installed on a skyscraper has fallen more than 50 storeys onto a New York pavement and shattered, injuring two people.

The 1.5-metre by 4-metre panel was being attached to the 51st-floor facade of a Bank of America tower under construction in midtown Manhattan across from Bryant Park, contractor Tishman Construction Corp said.

Passers-by ran toward the park when the glass shattered, raining pieces onto the sidewalk next to the 54-story office tower, which is occupied below the 29th floor. A block of Sixth Avenue was closed for hours while the shards were cleaned up.

Two men were hospitalised with minor injuries.

The city Department of Buildings stopped work on the facade and cited Tishman for failing to safeguard the public and property, failing to maintain vertical netting and not having a second exit route on the building's top three floors.

[ZZ-II]

holy shit, unbelievable nobody died there!

and i really thought they would finish the crown much faster :ohno:

[rockin'.baltimorean]

So not the spire! So not NY!

8! :?
the spire's fine. 10/10:okay:

[thomyorke26]

9/10 Impressive tower, decent cladding and environmental friendly. :)

[Astralis]

7.5/10... BTW I don't think this building is 366 m high, compared to NY Times Tower it's shorter, maybe if you count in this ugly and unnecessary antenna which IMO downgrades the whole image of the building. Here is one pic of mine taken in August...

Personally this one didnt come out as well as I hopped. Not sure why though...probably the cladding.
