New York City, which is already home to seven of the ten tallest buildings in America, is set to expand its skyline with a series of new skyscrapers, many of which are slated for completion by 2030. Affirmation Tower, designed by Adjaye Associates, will be the tallest of the new skyscrapers at a planned 1,663 feet. Located in Hudson Yards, this mixed-use building will include offices, a hotel, and an observation deck.
Despite the ambitious height, there is no confirmed completion date for this building yet. Also known as Project Commodore, this skyscraper will replace the current Grand Hyatt Hotel deep in Manhattan. The new structure will house a mix of offices, a hotel, and public spaces, and the Art Deco architecture has been designed to harmonize with the adjacent Grand Central Terminal.
Tower Fifth is planned to be the tallest building in Midtown Manhattan at 1,556 feet. Plans for the slender building, which would be the tallest in the city by roof height, includes a variety of amenities, including offices, an observation deck, and public spaces. It is one of the more luxurious buildings on the list, with a view of Central Park.
The new design for 350 Park Avenue will make it one of the tallest buildings in New York. The structure will primarily serve as an office building and is expected to be a major addition to the Midtown East skyline. It features a sleek, modern design with extensive use of glass and steel.
