Imagine getting a couch up the stairs. Pivot!

Imagine building a flute building so when it gets breezy, there'd be a melodious tune in the city

Someone has a party, everybody leans to 1 side.

Tower: ARE YOU TRYING TO GET US KILLED???!!!

I know the engineering and math is sound but...I wouldn't want to be in that thing in a strong breeze.

$58 million apartments with walls made of $12 a sheet wallboard.

As someone who has a fear of heights and is claustrophobic this building is a nightmare.

A skyscraper that can fit in my backyard... pretty amazing

6:19 I thought that sign was a building for way to long.

[WeatherManToBe]

Only 2 elevators. Yikes. Imagine trying to leave in the morning .

Thank you so much for taking the time to point out that NYC real estate is being affected by these kinds of luxury projects. Inequality in New York City is outrageous and it's good that you made a note of that.

Wish we saw more Art Deco buildings being built in nyc

[midievalcat]

This is not a skyscraper, this is a habitable spire

[dman]

One thing left out that's amazing is they couldn't dig as deep as they wanted, so they basically screwed the building into the bedrock so it wouldn't topple over.

[gerardlang]

My goodness. I’m getting shivers up my spine just by looking at the height of this thin beauty. Even if I had the money, I don’t think I would have the guts to live in an extreme high rise.

[StopFear]

As cool as it looks, I would be afraid to step a foot in it. It feels like Indiana Jones having to step on an invisible bridge by using faith to reach the grail.

[wizzardofpaws]

this one gives me the creeps. The building is just way too narrow
