  1. I can't wait to see it in a stiff wind. Hard to believe it doesn't have guy wires.

  2. Saw a you tube vid showing a typical apartment in this building. 3+ million dollars to get sea sick looking out over the park.

  6. 24:1...Not 2stroke premix ratio, but, height to width ratio. Studio apartment is only 16m$ which is starting price to live there. I'd rather camp out by river.

    2. That’s a lot of money for some sketchy floor plans. The bigger the apartment the worse the layout. Lots of wasted space in some of those units.

  8. Someone trying to compete with the boys in Dubai…hideous, and “just because you can doesn’t mean you should”. Imagine living in that thing wavering worse than a skiff on the ocean.

  9. Details: 111 West 57th Street, also known as Steinway Tower, is a supertall residential skyscraper in the Midtown Manhattan neighborhood of New York City. Developed by JDS Development Group and Property Markets Group, it is situated along Billionaires' Row on the north side of 57th Street near Sixth Avenue. The main portion of the building is an 84-story, 1,428-foot (435-meter) tower designed by SHoP Architects and completed in 2021. Preserved at the base is the 16-story Steinway Building (also Steinway Hall), a former Steinway & Sons store designed by Warren and Wetmore and completed in 1925, which originally carried the address 111 West 57th Street.

    AD had a video on one apartment at the top selling for 150 million dollars. One.

  11. Perfect for a 2001 hit on a high building, this is just stupid to build something this high. A good wind with the right speed could break windows, make you wonder how well built is it when your on the top floors, lighting hit the building is it made with rods to divert the energy, so many questions. Lastly, elevator breaks down, my my all those stairs to climb down but climb up.
