Slim Building, A Future Trend?

A freshly proposed residential tower in New York is set to push the limits on just how slim a high rise can be.



The base of the 700' tower will only measure 50' x 54', an astoundingly small surface area. To create such a slim tower, all structural support will lie on the perimeter of the building, and only a single concrete core is to be placed inside. New York City's zoning laws allow slim buildings to reach virtually unlimited heights; the primary motivating factor behind building slim.


However, the lanky profile of the building isn't the only remarkable thing about it. It will feature multiple indoor parks, an astoundingly opulent feature. While we don't yet know how much any residential unit in this building will cost, it's a safe bet that I won't be able to afford one any time soon.
