Construction on NYC’s One Vanderbilt supertall tower continues

Despite the state-wide shutdown of all non-essential construction projects, work on the 77-story One Vanderbilt tower in New York City designed by Kohn Pedersen Fox (KPF) is marching forward.  New York YIMBY reports that construction crews are currently hard at work installing the finishing touches on the 1,401-foot tower’s angled crown.

The building will include a 100-foot spire at the very top that has yet to be lifted into place. Additionally, a three-story observation deck, dubbed “The Summit,” designed by Snøhetta, is also included in the project. Gensler is providing interior architecture services for the development.  A rendering for One Vanderbilt.
