    Judging by the comments section, I'm in the minority, but I love the architecture of these buildings. They look sleek and futuristic, and they're great editions to the NYC skyline. What I don't love is how they're only apartments for the ludicrously, extravagantly wealthy.

      Yeah, they look far better than the office buildings that were so prevalent back in the 80s. Personally, I don’t see the problem with these towers housing wealthy people. After all, affordable housing could never be built in that location and supertalls take up less land area

      This might be a hot take and I replied to another comment with something similar, but that sounds like an awful and boring choice. NYC (in my opinion) thrives on celebrating it's history and looking to the future. You can walk two blocks and pass by three different architectural styles that were built 5-10 decades apart and nobody bats an eye, that's pretty cool. If you think about two of the most iconic buildings the city has had, the twin towers and the Empire State Building, they couldn't be farther apart. People often think of NYC for it's art deco structures, but two giant brutalist concrete boxes were at one point the most famous (and tallest) buildings in the world. It's in a constant state of change and growth to meet modern demands, that's why it's called a "global city" and still holds the crown as the financial capital of the world.

    These towers are incredible, they look crazier than any other towers on the Earth. New York needs facilities like this

      I agree. I know so many New Yorkers hate these buildings but I was born and raised there and I feel like it’s a city of skyscrapers, these new buildings just fit into that and make it look cool and futuristic again. But I wouldn’t want to live in one and I hope they’re correctly designed and built!

    They look cheap and pretentious. Why not remain consistent with the rest of the city?

      You mean like so many other, " cheap and prententious," buildings built throughout the past few decades in New York?

    Love these new supertalls!! The engineering is incredible, and their height above the park is an awesome sight. ……It is interesting how much they are HATED by New Yorkers!!! I find them fascinating structures!

      people hate them because they are built for foreign billionaires to launder their money. people don't actually live in them. it's just a big investment trophy for the world's ultra wealthy. and at the same time, ordinary people are struggling to pay rent.

    We need a building designed in the sturdiest and strongest shape.

    Your videos are amazing. There are more supertall residential towers on the way at 41 W 57th and most likely, on the site just west of the Crown Building.

    Coincidentally enough, nearly all of the other World's tallest apartment buildings also exist along a small chunk of one city in Dubai's Marina District, and they are also quite skinny.

    432 Park has reported that elevators are getting stuck and flooding is happening because the building sways so much.

    432 they might as well put orange roll-up doors in it’s square windows, and make it into a Public Storage.

    Skyscraper cities like NYC and Chicago are so unimpressive when you’re in a state that has tall mountains.

    I know these buildings are built to last but you could never find me living in them supertalls… (just the sight of him standing in the windbreak of 111 W made me feel nauseous), 153 W 10th floor would be perfect 😭

      The whole city is a ‘blight’ on nature. New Yorkers are the tragedy.

    Considering the current ocean temperatures I wouldn't live in one of these. I would be afraid of a category 5 storm hitting NYC and contrary to what anyone says, I'm not convinced they would be stable.

      They’re kind of a letdown. The buildings look so unusual and different on the outside, on the inside the apartments look like any other bland fancy modern apartment, there’s nothing unique.
