New Towers

NYC saw an unprecedented level of skyscraper construction over the last 3 years. These towers are a few of the newest. 8 new supertall towers (1000ft+) in that window of time. Previous to this boom just a few years ago, the city had 21 after a century of skyscraper development. Now, it has 29. Just one of these towers would shift the profile of the skyline, and they all came up at once, together. It made for a visually unique and interesting period in the city.

Taken from a 50th story rooftop, this shot showcases just how much taller these buildings are than Midtown's others. Even at 800ft up, these towers still manage to loom.
