In May 2017, the Moscow-based architecture firm Meganom released their plans for a new slender supertall tower on Fifth Avenue, Manhattan.

Meganom have labelled the development ‘unlike anything else built in New York’ and have claimed it will include several ‘firsts’ in terms of its design and environmental sustainability features.

The skyscraper will reach a height of 305 m (1,001 ft) and occupy a site spanning from 260 to 264 Fifth Avenue, with two vacant structures currently being demolished to make way. A historic 12-storey limestone building will be integrated into the tower’s base.

The design of the ‘skinny’ tower includes an eastern façade featuring oversized and perforated porthole windows, while floor-to-ceiling windows on the north and south facades will offer residents amazing views of Manhattan. The tower will be wrapped in aluminium and glass, and topping the tower will be a rectilinear crown serving as an observation deck.

The structural system of the tower is comprised of a mechanical core running up the western side of the tower as opposed to the centre. The intention is for this design solution to enable unobstructed, column-free living spaces inside. This, the firm claims, is ‘unprecedented in a New York high-rise’.
