Construction Tour: One Vanderbilt

East facade of the tower on the Midtown skyline.

Construction continues at One Vanderbilt, SL Green's 58-story future supertall tower on a site adjacent to New York's Grand Central Terminal. Designed by KPF, the mixed-use tower has reached supertall status with its topping out and spire installation earlier this fall. Facade installation continues at the top quarter of the tower. The design of the facade features floor to ceiling glass and diagonal terracotta spandrels. The base of the tower’s spire offer panoramic views of New York and New Jersey.
