I'm gonna be absolutely shocked at it's eventual collapse in 20 years.
Humorously the cause probably won't even be the ugly top-heavy and asymmetrical design. The math for that is probably correct. What they're not accounting for, what they never account for, is the mounting degeneracy of our people and especially corporate class.
What brings this tower down will probably be something really stupid related to cost-cutting which is so rampant in current year, like unstable ground around the foundation, or concrete which wasn't dried properly.
As a tower built to generate tourist revenue during an economic downturn, a tower designed to showcase "the future" for cheap political points, you just know theyre gonna be going breakneck speed and cutting every corner to get this thing done on time, shiny, and under-budget, just for the revenue and to prove a point. And its going to backfire.
It's not going to collapse, the floors are hung from a central column which is more or less centered through the floors. What it will have is the same maintenance schedule as a major bridge.
And that maintenance has to be paid for, which will make rent even more ridiculous than it already is in Manhattan, and there is no lack of vacant spaces. What happens if it sits at 20% occupancy for an extended period of time? I'd wager corners get cut on maintenance.
But why though? It's just ugly.
