Curtain wall installation is wrapping up at One Vanderbilt, SL Green's 77-story future supertall tower on a site adjacent to New York's Grand Central Terminal. The 1,401 foot tall tower is designed by KPF and will feature a three story observation deck at the tower’s first setback at the 1,000 foot mark. A 100-foot tall spire will rise at the top of the crown.
