What makes it more sustainable than other buildings?
And so nobody see's any problem when chunks of wind blown trees fall on people fifty floors below?
NYC is going from the concrete jungle to the glass jungle xD
Nice tower I like the design, but the external greenery thing is just a gimmick. Having plants that are not rooted at ground level is a pain in the ass, it's not environmental and not efficient.
I like pot plants, I 've got a few on my own ( low rise ) apartment balcony, but this is not some great environmental initiative, don't make me laugh! It's been done countless times anyway in cities much smaller than NY.
Completely bizarre aesthetic. Take a tall building and somehow Force some trees to be included. Then call the monstrosity green. Somehow by trying to shoe horn in a bit of nature you get a final result that is disharmonious. Sort of like lipstick on a pig
What they don’t tell you is 70% of these are sitting empty and are basically just investments. Since real estate just raises
Thought I was watching "Life after People" where the plants and rats take over the skyscrapers after us folks depart the scene….
I've just seen a video on new buildings, many of which are incredible, and you expect me to get excited about another big box?
“The integration of nature and the office”… let’s make a structure 99.97% out of metal and minerals and decorate it with a few green things that can be marketed as nature et voilà! This type of greenwashing in construction is tiring.
BO-RING!!! These basic flat skyscrapers don't come CLOSE to the beauty of the art deco classics. Architects REALLY need more creativity, this is ATROCIOUSLY BAD! Sorry, Gossip Girl disapproves. XOXO 😉
Yea yea NY is Dead!!!
I cannot stand cities
Stay home, work there. Who need hellish commuting to office? Keep the pyjama on🏆🥰
…I just love that the only thing you’ll never see in these lofty open spaces…are people lol
Why not just make apartments that are green instead of workplaces so they can just work and live from a nice green area? Fixes the housing and workplace issue. Oh yeah. Cuz the government doesn't see as much taxes that way.
This will require a huge team of gardeners. As a gardener – I approve!
there is a george floyd statue in the lobby on ground floor.
I'll laugh if a marijuana plant was secretly growing there like a huge marijuana plant
As pretty as it looks, does not lure me into returning back to the toxic office with the toxic co-workers and micromanaging supervisors!
It’s tall. The end.
Tower of Babel
😮" How can THIS be ' New York's Tallest ' ?…. THIS isn't taller than 1 WTC. "
nothing in this building is environmental
i live very near this building. winters are brutal near the river and the so called greenery will have a tough time surviving. especially the upper floors. i guess they can just plant new every spring.
Excuse if I am wrong, but ~300M = ~984 FT
The Freedom Tower is 1,776 FT.
How is this NYCs tallest skyscraper?
Environmentalist are destroying this country
The bulding itself looks nice and fresh, but in my opinion is stupid to build so many tall buildings next to each other!
so I'm like the 80th floor with a window office and a kickass view and next thing I know some tree from 3 floors down has sprouted up and completely block my awesome view.
Anybody seen Atlanta this season where PaperBoi chopped down that tree in London? lolol
How long before a tree limb falls into the street?
Well it's got a gimmick, and it's a pretty good one. But underneath it all, it's yet another shiny rectangular prism – like most tower buildings since Mies.
Hey, do you notice the overwhelming note of derision toward it, in the Comments?! ~:^o I think most people today are receptive to sincere environmental consideration; but everyone interprets this 'scraper as Business as Usual, but with a Green marketing feature.
What makes a building green is a set of efficiency standards in construction.
Kinda looks like the King Power Mahanakhon tower in Bangkok Thailand.
This building is a FAIL. There isn't enough greenery there to make it visible from a distance. It turned into another glass box and it really obscures views of other, more architecturally interesting buildings at Hudson Yards when you look at them from the Times Square vintage point.
Great…more junk space that looks absolutely awful. These obsolete buildings look like they're straight out of the 1960s. It's really sad how architecture has completely failed as a profession. These wretched, "Modern" buildings have never related to anything worthwhile in cities. In addition, all-glass buildings are TERRIBLE in terms of sustainability! They're like gigantic, vertical greenhouses that require huge amounts of energy to cool and heat.
