I wish NYC didn’t have that stupid unwritten role they no building can be higher then the WTC. It would be AWESOME to see a couple mega talks going up! NYC is known of its innovation with its skyscrapers, and it stifles innovation. It also kinda tied its hands in competing with other world class cities skylines Dammit!
Yup..It’s embarrassing that America’s first mega tall is going to be in a city the rest of the world (and to be honest half of America) have never heard of. As usual love your channel my friend!
I don’t know if this is a rule. WTC just has a really long spire too. I think developers are not building higher because buildings that tall aren’t quite financially feasible enough right now.
@ it’s a unwritten rule nothing can be higher because of its height (1776) being patriotic and symbolizing americas resilience after 9-11. And I think a spire adding to a buildings height is cheating. I much prefer roof height. Also the pice of a plot in land in manhattan is so ridiculously expensive that it can be financially infeasible to NOT build a super tall building in NYC. That’s why Chase bank tore down their 700 ft headquarters on Park Ave (the tallest building to ever be demolished ON PURPOSE) and just topped out their NEW headquarters which is TWICE as tall!
@datavisualisation5600 Too bad the housing crisis happened because Chicago would’ve had the first mega tall. I agree though that the legends tower should motivate other US cities to build taller.
If you are going to build one of the tallest buildings - you should want something that is iconic/ distinctive/attract tourists - not just another big BOX in the sky. The building before was superior, not great but far better. This new generation of Americans don't appreciate/know style - Would suggest one travel outside of the the US.
I actually liked the previous design more.
It looked as though a gentle nudge could send it toppling over.
I thought it was hideous at first but now I look back in a sort of awe at how jarring it is.
Waiting for the Miracle to get All those Supertalls built 🙏🙏

Yeah someone needs to break the “rule” hoping legends tower motivates NY to take back the title but who knows

A lot of the newer buildings in Asia are incredible in scale and design.
