270 Park Ave JP Morgan Chase - Almost Done - Oct 2024 UPDATE

[@martinamelung4261]

Absolutely impressive. I've seen the construction site a few times and I have to say it went pretty quickly. Beautiful building.

[@NYCSKYSCRAPERS-hp6pm]

My favorite new tower looks god from all angles and from a distance

[@frankv7068]

lol so many years following skyscraper page forums and I’m American, and Ijust figured out with your video that facade is pronounced sounding like “fassad” and not “fackaid”🤣, nice progress can’t wait for the real gem in that area 175 Park Ave!

[@creedencebakken2686]

😂😂😂😂

[@dukeofhaas]

This building's design is monstrous. Its vertical antecedent is the uninspiring and monolithic John Hancock in Chicago, and its street stance is reminiscent of the Solow (9 W57th St) and Citicorp, both accused of causing pedestrian vertigo and generalized angst.

[@doomisagreatgame]

it’s supposed to be practical, so it’s more than reasonable for it to be dull I should also mention that this was the same stance as the World Trade Center, which over time become beloved, so it’s also expected that this will be the same thing

[@NYCybertruck]

I personally love it. I’m glad we’re finally meaningfully filling out the skyline for the first time in decades.

[@Ray03595]

Best NYC supertall in ages IMO and its design actually fits into the history of NYC.

[@RocketStudio-uf2sk]

​@@doomisagreatgamepeople still miss the old WTC

[@largol33t1]

I however do appreciate the unusual diamond shaped brace on the sides. It offers some relief from the monotonous all-glass facades of the other buildings but it doesn't look bad on it either.

[@anthonyboarman3833]

I would think the diagonal bracing would be part or the steel skeleton. Like the Hancock building in Chicago.

[@Alexgudmusic]

woah, I just realized how new this channel is. great info and quality videos. hope your channel grows fast.

[@gregsmith3410]

Brooklyn Tower dark bronze facade looks similar.

[@BradizbakeD]

What a stunning addition to NYC.

[@Alexgudmusic]

I love the design. a future icon. I want to visit some of these citys

[@martinamelung4261]

Do that, the street canyons of New York are always a blast. It will fascinate you.

[@naplesbluesrt]

Think they had to use the CB building due to 'air rights'. Could be wrong though.

[@imlx667]

Agreed. They demolished a 200-meter tower to build a 400-meter one. Not the smartest move.

[@Nostalg1a]

@MrGriff305-j7s It's not progress. Waste and bigger office space isn't progress.

[@Channel-ir3el]

They recycled it

[@imlx667]

I don't like the way these rhombuses look from afar, from the city panorama.

[@bryguy24]

you are thinking of Lever house - predates Seagram and right across the street

[@scraperinfo]

Yes!!! It’s odd how some sites don’t give it credit for being first modern skyscraper, but yes thanks for reminding us!

[@davidkoenig8592]

Dude, Seagram was finished in 1958.

[@scraperinfo]

Yes it was, and Lever House even earlier in 1950-1952. Really fascinating, a lot earlier than I thought.

[@copa8]

Looks like the Bank of China Tower in HK.

[@thejokerjoker508]

Kind of yess from the side

[@sentinespi]

they look nothing alike

[@Nostalg1a]

What an unproportionate mess. Kitschy all the way

[@h4f3ou5h]

how? what are you even talking about? would you rather it be a giant rectangle? its one of the most natural looking buildings

[@Nostalg1a]

@ Look at actual art deco buildings or a RAMSA design, those are proper setbacks. This is just a gigantic disproportionate greedy hunk of steel and glass with no elegance or detail. Even the Sears Tower did it better and it isn’t the prettiest thing out there.

[@laeihbvaljefhbvalejfhbv]

Destroy a Chicago Style building to preserve a modernist and boring Union Carbide Building?!?! Hello? No lol.

[@sammann251]

yeah what.

[@DasaniSaltWater]

Have you even seen the old building? It was even more boring than this one

[@scraperinfo]

Well I look at it from two perspectives, that specific one I showed isn’t as impressive as other buildings in the city in terms of its style, I’m not a fan of preserving every single building of course, only impressive ones. Second, my main thing is making an impressive skyline, and that means adding to the height of of the skyline. Yes the union carbide building was not decoratively impressive, but height wise it was, and I’m all for facelifts, like many other buildings on park Ave itself that had facelifts done. Let me know what you think!

[@RocketStudio-uf2sk]

Not nyc style at all​@MrGriff305-j7s
