A New New York Skyscraper





















In New York they’re planning another skyscraper.

It’s a 67 story skyscraper near Penn Station in Midtown Manhattan. The height of the proposed tower is just 34 feet (10 metres) less than that of the Empire State Building and only 900 feet (280 metres) away from it.

If built, the new skyscraper would be in direct competition with the Empire State Building (which has stood alone for 79 years), obstructing the view of it in some directions and permanently changing the midtown skyline.
NYC Mayor Bloomberg is in support of the new building, and City Council voted in favour of the proposal.
If the remaining hurdles to development are overcome, the New york skyline will change another time this decade.
