Even the international investment community for whom these gargantuan towers were built has resisted them.
Steinway Tower on West 57th Street is called New York’s “loneliest” tower by “MegaBuilds” in a video posted on Youtube. Btw, it was allowed by the Landmarks “Preservation” Commission to largely appropriate the 1925 landmark-designated Steinway Hall. And naturally enough, since no one in municipal governance really seems to really care much about art, culture, or tradition, Steinway’s hallowed music and art studios were demolished.
Steinway Tower as well as all of Billionaire’s Row is an exercise in futility as well as civic destruction and monumental folly.
