New York Completes Modern Empire State Building | One Vanderbilt

One Vanderbilt is a skyscraper under construction at the corner of 42nd Street and Vanderbilt Avenue in midtown Manhattan, New York City. Proposed by New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio and developer SL Green Realty as part of a planned Midtown East rezoning, the tower will stand next to Grand Central Terminal.
A groundbreaking ceremony for One Vanderbilt was held in October 2016. When completed in 2020, the 67-floor, 1,600,000-square-foot (150,000 m2) skyscraper's roof will be 1,301 feet (397 m) high and its spire will be 1,401 feet (427 m), making it the city's fourth-tallest building after the completion of Central Park Tower and 111 West 57th Street.
Inspired by the Empire State tower design, The One Vanderbilt is a modern take on the essential forms and style of the Empire State building.
The tower features a new integrated construction technique that is very high speed. One Vanderbilt is 6 months ahead of expected progress and will be completed in 2020.

I still think the Chrysler building is the best looking building ever.

At 1,046 the other new buildings dwarf the Chrysler but it will always just as the empire state building be the greatest buildings in New York we talking 1931 ish these were created it was way harder to build these structures..most had no safety harnesses it was truly a marvel of it's time and always will be

[@olgajoachimosmundsen4647]

The highest occupied floor will be 305 meters, this means that almost 100 meters of potential height is unused. I find it interesting that so many skyscrapers have such low efficiency on how much of the building they use. Those floors would be great office-space with an incredible view.

[@rakimwilliams9116]

It's a New York kinda thing lol I've born and raised here most of these structures..are 50 plus 60 plus floors with like the majority of the building not being used...in New York it's all about the image...simple..we feel as if we have a big reputation to keep up with for all people around the world...and that's just the way its always been...with as much space these buildings have they can allow homeless to live in there and give them building maintenance jobs...but that won't happen I can assure u

[@krishersL]

funny how this, not even the tallest skyscraper in NYC, costs 4 Billion dollars to make while cities in Eastern Countries are literally building luxury cities for like 10 Billion dollars

[@arjanstakaj4607]

Why is it funny? This building is union build , union workers have a pretty decent standard of living in NYC while in the eastern countries are mostly slaves.

Those luxury new cities were only for the wealthiest and richest people,and there's not even affordable housing for families to live there...

Vanderbilt is a great midtown East location. I cut through that street often. It can’t compete with Grand Central Terminal. There are several new towers going up in the neighborhood and a rather oddball high rise being built by the Turken foundation Tyyip Erdogan’s on 41st at 2nd Ave. It abuts one of the Tudor City buildings. They bought airspace from that building as well as 2 small city lots. It took them over a year to drill and carve out the building’s foundation. It is in the UN neighborhood. The project is not listed as one of NYC's approximately 5,000 “essential” construction projects. The Turkish consulate is also building another tower at 821 1st Ave. lots of major building projects all over including Hudson Yards and the recently opened The Edge observation point that looks directly at the Empire State Building. It will cost $36 a ticket to go to their glass observation deck. When you stand in Bryant Park the vista has totally changed as has the Westside by Javits. At night it really looks futuristic. Other than Erdogan’s buildings new condos in these areas start at about $3.6 million. The city always seemed small and manageable to me but all the new buildings add and detract from the livability and beauty of old NYC.
