−	~~In June 2016, New York's Skyscraper Museum released an online tool that tracks the growing number of ‘super-slender’ towers in the city.~~
−
−	~~You can take a look at it [http://skyscraper.org/EXHIBITIONS/TEN_TOPS/slender.php here].~~
−
−	~~The interactive chart compares the heights and silhouettes of 18 'skinny' towers now complete or under construction in New York.~~

	All of the super-slender towers use this method of assembling lots and transferring air rights to consolidate and concentrate their collective FAR into one tall tower. Developers generally demolish the under-built structures to create a larger site for their project, even if the tower will cover only a portion. At 432 Park Avenue, for example, the mid-block tower is only 93 ft sq. and is set back 60 ft from 56th Street and fronted by a plaza. A low-rise commercial building at the corner creates another zone of open space where the 22-story Drake Hotel once stood.
