A multi-billion-dollar tower featuring floor-to-ceiling glass will now add another dimension to the ever-changing, iconic city.
Everyone knows the familiar shapes that make up New York’s skyline. There’s the Art Deco curved crown of the Chrysler Building, the sweeping isosceles triangles that twist around One World Trade Center, the stepped limestone and granite rectangles of the Empire State Building and the triangular prism of the Flatiron Building.

As New York continues to deal with the economic aftershocks wrought by the Covid-19 pandemic, Adams and his administration said in their respective statements that they hoped this project would continue the city’s recovery.
