Here’s the latest update on One57, with photos taken yesterday, August 13th. Little progress is evident at the building’s top, which should be topped-out quite soon, but the facade continues to rise as usual. The first image shows the facade almost blending into the sky, besides the ‘pixelated’ part. As One57 nears completion, what do you think of the building–a‘gift to the city’, as Gary Barnett said, or an eyesore?
I think a clever name for this would be “The Matchstick”. Literally looks like a long, thin matchstick in the air.
