Central Park Towers : Why are these New Match-Shaped Skyscrapers popping up South of New-York ?

Since 2014, a new generation of match-shaped towers popping up south of Central Park. In this video, we'll see why these tall and slender towers are growing so much in the New York skyline , we'll talk about One 57, 432 Park Avenue, Central Park Tower and Steinway Tower. I will also show you what the apartments at 432 Park Avenue and One 57 look like. Finally, I'll explain the factors behind the appearance of these new towers in New York City.

432 Park captivates me. I can't explain it. It's architecture is so unassuming and yet so beautiful. I can't wait to return to NYC!

[@Looking4En]

Yes, me too...

I've liked these towers since I first saw them. This is what good architecture & advanced engineering is all about. By making them so slender, they don't cast significant shadows and they don't block a lot of good views.

[@Looking4En]

Yes I agree with you, moreover I find them really impressive and I find that it renews the New York skyline in an interesting way, contrary to other projects much too voluminous and imposing like the 175 Park Avenue...

Thank you

[@Looking4En]

You are welcome!

Very interesting video. I admire the architecture greatly, but I'm afraid I'd puke in the upper floors of these buildings due to the movement.

I like it as it shows a genius of engineering. Yet , it is built not for living in it, but for rich people investments and saving money in real estate. And I would be fine with that. I think if a person is rich, good for them. Everyone wants to be rich, preserve money and be even richer. That is fine. But there is always a but. The skyscraper developers abide by low to invest in affordable housing to balance the scale of real estate in the city, which they don't do, lurking through legal loopholes. So the city gets supper expensive apartments that almost noone can rent or buy, yet the much needed flats for the middle class are dismissed.

I agree with you about this problem.

One world trade center is not the second tallest building in the world it's PNB 118

[@Looking4En]

Yes I know, I spoke about spires

[@Hexagon234]

Oh ok

Not a fan of the look of the Park Avenue tower, personally.
