Views offered from the uppermost penthouse, from approximately 800 feet above street level, in an article on YIMBY. The sturdy 821-foot tall tower contains 145 condominiums. Due to a lack of adjacent towers (unlike Midtown or further south in the financial district) it is highly visible from many parts of Lower Manhattan.

One Bryant Park
This skyscraper design was inspired by the famed New York Crystal Palace, the first light metal frame building in America, erected in Bryant Park in 1853, along with cultural influences from New York City’s classic skyscrapers. The building design traces the history of the place while representing the city’s optimism of its future through the suggestion of the architectural forms.
