15 Penn Plaza will be a pretty mixed blessing for the neighborhood. Density near Penn is great, and hopefully the setbacks and cutouts of 15 Penn Plaza will create sightlines at ground level that have never existed before. https://newyorkyimby.com/2022/12/ddoemolition-progresses-for-1200-foot-penn15-at-15-penn-plaza-in-midtown-manhattan.html

But the height of the tower will truly detract from the Empire State Building's role in the NYC skyline forever. And claiming that any owner will maintain trees a thousand feet in the air remains a I'll-believe-it-when-I-see-it type thing. Until then it's a lie by rendering.
