Christian de Portzamparc’s One57 Tower on West 57th Street New York. September 2015
Christian de Portzamparc’s One57 Tower on West 57th Street actually makes this cluster, viewed from near the Central Park Skating Rink, look even better. Best of all, Essex House, with its wonderful and wildly illegal sign by current standards, still reminds us of the view as it was for many years. There is some wonderful stuff here that has accumulated over the years, and still a whole lot more of these residential needles to go up, thanks to our previous Mayor, so keep watching.
