I was in NYC this past weekend and made it a point to walk by this amazing structure. Then i went to the Top of the Rock and took pics of it. Wow!

The quality of this video is astonishing. Better than a lot of major construction oriented channels. Please keep up the good work!

Maybe instead of building unnecessary high-rise office building, they should build a high-rise apartment building whose flat units would not be sold to buy-and-hold investors, speculators, but to the people that need to WORK and LIVE in the city.

@@bensonr2 You live in the US, you should be fine finding a company that will value your time and not require you to waste it on unnecessary travel to get to the office to do a job that can be done remotely. But we all know what is going on - conflict of interests; many high-profile people (also from the Corp world) have vested interested in real-estate funds that would suffer if those offices were empty. They do not look on the benefits of average Joe (cutting travel, expenses of communiting, life in an expensive city), they look on the side of billionaires and other cronies who need to be even more richer, who are so stupid that forget that if you get rid of a functioning middle-class, the society is doomed.

Stunning tower. Bold and super efficient. What a piece of art. Definitely fits NY's personality

Great video. Succinct and interesting, answered questions I didn't know I had. Keep up the great work.

I like the idea but also hate covering up the Empire State Building and Chrysler Building at the same time.

I remember NYC's skyline before and after 9/11. I think it was somewhere in the 2000s I was thinking it was starting to look better than it ever has. Then around maybe 2014 or 2015 I started noticing taller buildings pop up that kind of fit Manhattan's skyline. Now, since about maybe 2019 some of these towers just look out of place. Idk I just think it used to have a charm to it that seemed more welcoming, but I'm not from NYC or live there so I'm just making an observation from my own point of view

how does this only have 60 stories?? That can't be true. has to have at least 80

Perhaps it could be repurposed as a homeless shelter or intake center for migrants. Or, as a museum that tells the story of how people used to work. And a big shout out to Microsoft Teams for letting us work from home, forever! 🥰

It’s sad to see such an amazing city fall to corruption

Right when the office real estate is getting destroyed.

Good video. Music distracts from the narrator.

Great video!!!

I see that Construction is going fast. It could be completed by the end of this year or sooner. then expecting

Mixed feelings, for now it looks outscaled and based on renderings I think this feeling might stay. Not a fan of Foster's architecture in general, but hope this one when finished will change it.

Looks great

Great content ❤👍. The music too loud. Feels like listening to someone talking in the nightclub 😅

Great video. Cool channel. Just the music should be lower, imo.

I am dumbfounded by the mention of the fact that the power utilized will likely not come from renewable resouces. Nobody signs these contracts for power utilized, they are for power purchased. Ergo the end user is essentially agreeing to fund the construction of renewable resources equivalent to their expected use over a period of time for a set price. To even try and claim the electricity that they will use will be natural gas is a bogus claim because at the end of the day North America is actually split into a very small amount of basically distinct sectors of electric dris, but within thise sectors there is no way tu guarantee what generating source flows to where

Dustin, you make a very well-constructed argument, but I disagree because "sourcing" the electricity from this hydro plant cannot be guaranteed by the specific location (as you even mentioned in your final statement). If I have a mini solar field in my front yard (that's capable of powering my house) and feed it back into the grid, am I "sourcing" 100% renewable power?

@user-wm9sy9qd4h

4 ай бұрын

​@@KlignEngineeringI think Dustin is right. As long as the electric company holds up their end of the deal, it's valid to say that the building is powered by clean energy. We all share the same world so it doesn't matter if that new clean energy is being used to power this specific building or being used to power homes on the other side of the world. The end result is the same.

Would this not be the largest and/or tallest single tenant skyscraper in the western hemisphere? Even the other super talls are primarily built for multi tenant occupancy, which this one does not seem to be. May be a huge risk not to have that flexibility but as was pointed out, the cost seems to be a single digit percentage of net profit for a single year!

It is designed to be the bank headquarters, because of the fact that it is on top of a major railroad station many of the secure areas which in a large bank are usually in the basement must be above ground. This creates issues for other tenants.

There is a company that makes clear solar glass special made for skyscrapers. That will generate power for the building. If your going Boast Green you need Solar and huge backup batteries. No one predict where you going be pulling your power from unless you have building made from Solar glass.

The irony is I work on this skyscraper and I work from home.

What does "all electric" mean in terms of a building? Are there buildings with outlets for oil? I don't get it. I don't think I've ever been in a building that's not powered by electricity. 🧐

Hi @9mileproductions. If me using your content in this video upsets you, all you have to do is say the word and I will take it down. I'll be honest, I haven't done enough research on what is considered "fair use" and what is not. I recognize that I used 53 seconds of your video throughout this video(1:09 if you count the title pages), which is a significant portion of the video. I was not intending to "steal" from you at all, in my mind I was simply using the highest quality content that I could find to help tell a story. I felt that by including your name in the top left of the video as a reference(which I recognize is small), that helped justify it. You obviously do great work and I wish you the best, but please let me know if this upsets you and I promise I will take this video down.

Nothing will end WFH unless you offer absolutely free daycare facilities to tenant employees and generous pet friendly amenities. Pretending otherwise is wishful thinking, Pandora's box is open. Beautiful architecture is not enough, sadly (I'm an architect... and I've realized after years of indoctrination, that design on itself is not enough for the general public).

Why are they doing this when NYC has a high office vacancy rate?

Remarkable design? It looks like it was designed by a kid in kindergarten.

Love the building, hate the tenant. What was that profit number again??? I guess paying that extra interest rate is worth it to get this building....

No, we are trying to end unnecessary work from office. On top of that, we are trying to end fiat money and fractional reserve banking.

“Air rights” should be ended and a newer more building friendly policy needs to be enacted. This policy adds a lot of cost to an already expensive market. Also, I wish that more imagination and creativity were put in the design like other cities outside of America. This building is so unimaginative. Yet another boxy skyscraper being erected in the US. Boring.

Jeppers creepers - that dreadful intrusive music. I gave up.

So... it has nothing to do with ending work from home. Way to have a misleading title 👎👎

All I can say is that money could have went to fixing the Mta, school programs for the underprivileged, housing, sanitation, and funding for the arts!

The building looks great and it must be nice to have $300 billion in profits annually, but the title of this video "The Skyscraper Trying to End Work From Home" just slays me. If you want your employees to work in the office, direct them to do so. If they don't, fire them.
