“TREMENDOUS ADDITION” TO NYC SKYLINE HITS MILESTONE

Construction on One Vanderbilt, a 77-story supertall office tower described as a "tremendous addition to the Midtown skyline” in NYC, hit a milestone earlier this month when its 100-ft-tall architectural spire was replaced, New York YIMBY reports. The spire was initially erected in September 2019 for the topping-out ceremony, then disassembled in December to allow construction cranes full access to the 1,401-ft.-tall structure. Kohn Pederson Fox designed One Vanderbilt, which will be served by a Schindler vertical-transportation system. The source said the most-anticipated feature of the supertall is its 1,000-ft-high The Summit outdoor observatory, designed by Snøhetta and set to open in October 2021.
