Manhattan’s Rising Skyline Means Darkness for the Masses, Report Says
(DNAINFO) Nicole Levy | November 23, 2015 — Forgot walking on the sunny side of street.
The streets of Manhattan south of 60th street are bound to get darker as an unpredecented boom in the construction of tall buildings reshapes the borough’s skyline.
An infographic posted by National Geographic shows what that skyline will look like once the 15 buildings under construction and the 19 other skyscrapers proposed are erected. Since 2004, Manhattan, previously home to 28 buildings 700 feet or taller, has made room for 13 more skyscrapers.
New buildings will be clustered around Hudson Yards, the World Trade Center and the southeastern corner of Central Park.
