Steinway Tower - 111 West 57th Street | 2019 April Update | World's Thinnest Building

[@kiro1701]

Wow! Super building!👍Nice video!✌️Thank you so much!!!🙏I love NYC❤️

[@noodengr3three825]

Love the Terra Cotta and bronze

[@youp9543]

pretty soon all of the Central Park south area will be covered with these tall towers and Central Park will be "dark" when the sun is at its southern point

[@Lattrodon]

i wonder how sturdy the floor would feel standing at the top. i kinda feel like it would wobble like a cruise ship all the way up there. ive never been in a building that tall before tho so idk

[@ScottTheAngel]

It's made of lots of steel they've designed it so it's strong but it does look so thin to height ratio.

[@drdisrespect5318]

I was so concerned about where the rich were going to live…whew. It’s about time we gave them a place of their own.

[@daspranoy9122]

Nice one👌

[@peters9240]

Do supertalls in the US have intermittent "safety/escape" floors like in other parts of the world?

[@GN10Gaming]

After 9/11, they're obviously going to have to make buildings safer and that means making pressurized stairwells and escape routes, so yes.

[@somno6878]

I just wonder for how much space does the core of the building take...

[@stephensalt6229]

You can just fit a toilet in it...

[@overtaxed3628]

Me too, cant find any information about that !! The WTC had a thicker massive lower part of the steel structure, so thinner and weaker towards the top, but here the construction is made of concrete, so it is not clear to me how much pressure the lower floors of the building suffer and what exactly the structure is !!

[@johnphillips7144]

Nothing about the cost of these units. How fast is the elevator? What are the safety features in case of fire or heavy winds? I don't suppose I would be able to afford the penthouse unit, but then why would I want to live in a building that sways in the wind.

[@hehe6976]

Just a big eyes on top of this.

[@taotaoliu2229]

Almost Done!

[@dorseylandria6119]

Why is NYC building so many skinny skyscrapers?

[@bernatcamps7130]

Investors want luxury residences in high floors, and there is not much land space in which towers can be risen. There are also many laws which force companies not to build wide towers. Hence, developers are left with the only option of creating thin, tall towers, to maximize the land available.

[@GN10Gaming]

Lack of available land, especially in Manhattan.

[@robertthweatt1900]

To launder money.

[@ivine.honorato]

The construction code of NYC shouldn't allow the construction of this tower. It knocks around the skyline.

[@justinharris5195]

Ivine Honorato your opinion, please let the exports take care of this please.

[@ivine.honorato]

It's not an issue about opinions here... It's a fact. Those skinny buildings at midtown of Manhattan knocks around all it was done in decades. If NYC had a solid code about preserving the integrity of the city skyline this never would be allowed. Tell me if we have awkward buildings like these at center of towns as Paris, Berlin, Lisbon or Rome. Money sometimes can't be the priority, specially when we're talking about one of the most richest cities of the world.

[@justinharris5195]

Ivine Honorato I’m pretty sure the architects are aware of that, look just trust them, remember one time critics said that the plane would never be invented but the brothers that came up with the concept proved them wrong and now planes are the safest form of transportation in the world? Not saying it’s going to be the same for skinny skyscrapers, but I’m sure they will figure something out.

[@ivine.honorato]

@@justinharris5195 I'm graduating in architecture and I know exactly what I'm saying. Not all architects know what they do. Many of them just want to get their money. Only that. There's a subject called 'preservation of historic heritage'. This teaches us how we can project something modern without attacking architecture heritage of the place around. We have a lot of examples spreaded through the world. We just have to find a way how to do that.

[@justinharris5195]

Ivine Honorato I understand what your saying and I know that a lot of architects just build shit for a cash grab, but not all of them do that. Let’s just hope it won’t turn out this way for this project.

[@jeffreyhawthornegoines8727]

Another ultra rich tower in Babel

[@oscaishkoy5475]

Hola ciberamigos : Todo exelente ,

[@Monorail-Beyond-the-Veil]

Am I the only one who gets a terrible feeling it's TOO thin? I'm certainly not an architect, but I don't think this building will be finished successfully. I HOPE I'M WRONG, but I can't keep from seeing this building fall. Building anything that tall (and thin) just to break a record is testing God. Just look at the record-breaking Titanic.

[@dylankn8129]

Toronto wants to be in this channel as well...

[@MegaWorldstudio]

Toronto is already in my channel kzbin.info/www/bejne/jYKXoaWerL-Sars

[@dmytryb5858]

NYC the best.

Takut patah ngeri!!! 🤔

[@waynebrinker8095]

In spring of 2021 construction will begin on flying buttresses, the first in nearly 500 years.

[@NicolaDiModugno_songwriter]

[@ztechnology4334]

So slender! Wow

[@GN10Gaming]

amazing engineering

[@sachintendulkar1094]

Thanks to Indian engineers

[@robertocastelan8683]

.¡¡ Aah!!...que feita torre..toda "flaca"..

[@robertocastelan8683]

Nibar Diaz ..luego dicen que "el taman~o no importa"..

[@tmichaelwilliams]

Hideous.

[@GN10Gaming]

I think this building looks awesome - if you're one of those people who dislike tall buildings and skyscrapers, honestly fuck off.

[@duerandaggi]

And even more ridiculous. There is no view that would get me to live above the 40th floor, preferably below 20th. If I had that much money, I'd move into an older building facing the Central Park or the Hudson. Great views but no ringing in your ears every time you go up or down.

[@IMnot_FROMearth]

I love you

[@χσχσ-ν3χ]

@Michael Williams true bro looks awful

[@duerandaggi]

@@GN10GamingAre you stupid? Read my comment again, I am not saying there are no views above the 40th floor, I am saying if it's above the 40th floor it's not worth it. Because people are not birds and certain things are just unnatural. And it is precisely because the views from lower floors in the crowded downtown suck that I'd buy an apartment facing Central Park if I were super rich. Lower/natural floor plus a nice view, capisci?

[@mpaulm]

KZbin channel BM1 does a great video in this tower.

[@tomconverse4372]

This is just a colossal accident waiting to happen. If there is sustained winds of 50+ mph or structural integrity is somehow compromised due to cutting corners to reduce costs or shotty construction, that's it! It's ridiculous.

[@ScoutEboy]

Dear world-renowned architects and engineers, Tom Converse thinks your building is structurally unsound.

[@stein1385]

my building

[@Mathin3D]

Nu Yoik Rulz!

[@jsjeheh]

Just waiting for an aircraft who smash that shit.

[@oscaishkoy5475]

Hola ciberamigos : New york es unica edficios que tienen siglos y auque otros hagan mas altos New york es simplemente no tiene =.

[@平沢ゆい-x6e]

too thin though

[@GN10Gaming]

it's not easy to get land in nyc

[@ScottTheAngel]

NYC kind of looks old the buildings there are kind of trashy looking to me but they do the job.

[@joez3706]

Strange comment 🤔

[@movensun3436]

taliban loves this the most

[@iluminumfalcon8619]

What the fuck when was this i never heard anything about this in the news they won't shut up about Trump politics and GameofThrones,AvengersEndGame,Starwars and I love Architecture???....

[@sidneyferreira9574]

Prédio feio parece um poste de luz

[@georgekaplan4696]

So fukn what.....

[@betterwayarchitecturelight7014]

Very nice !

[@dmytryb5858]

438 meters, congrats yankees

[@lmfao745]

It’s not the tallest one lol

[@guidedmeditation2396]

Sounds like an exclusive building only for jews and looks like it doesn't belong and will sway or fail in a hurricane. Yes they are rare but they happen.

[@AlogCZ]

Its antisemitism

[@GN10Gaming]

Tall buildings are meant to sway in the wind so the structural support doesn't crack and cause the building to fall over, they also have dampers to minimize swaying.

[@joez3706]

That's not nice to say. 🙄
