Manhattan’s Coming New Skyline

The New York Daily News has published a recap of Manhattan’s insane boom in skyscraper construction. Embiggen the bottom image for a tally on the coming supertalls, several of which will eclipse the Empire State Building’s 1250 feet. The supertall in the center of the top image, 111 West 57th, will be the world’s skinniest skyscaper at 1350 feet tall and only 43 feet wide. With only 100 units, most of that tower’s apartments will be floor-through. The building on the far right, One57, was recently completed. The bankster that bought its 13,500sf triplex penthouse for $90M is already trying to flip it. (Tipped by JMG reader Ed)
