It will also be the tallest residential building in the city when complete. This theme was added on Patch 1.1.0 on May 19, 2015. The climate is the sunny theme slightly toned down for a cooler feel. Unlike other themes, the European theme consists of wall-to-wall buildings, with over 70 different styles of buildings. In Midtown, three skyscrapers are currently under construction as part of the Hudson Yards complex, and there are seven under construction between 50th and 60th Streets, the tallest of them also being the second tallest building in the city: The Central Park Tower, which will stand 1,550 feet tall, with a completion date sometime in 2019. The European theme revolves around the appearance, the styles, and the climates of a European city. Supertall buildings currently under construction in the downtown area are the 780-feet tall 50 West Street with a scheduled completion in 2017, Three World Trade Center with a scheduled completion in 2018, 30 Park Place, which will finish construction this year as will the 'Jenga Tower,' 56 Leonard Street, just a few blocks away.Īmong the proposed new structures, 125 Greenwich Street stands the tallest at 1,356 feet and currently has a projected finish date sometime in 2018. The developments are concentrated in two particular areas: the Financial District and Midtown. There are 15 supertall buildings-any building that is taller than 984 feet-currently under construction, and another 19 have been proposed, the map reveals. Heres a blog post about this tool, with more explanations.

There's a glut of supertall buildings set to populate the Manhattan skyline in the next five years, and National Geographic has released a nifty new interactive map charting those developments. The result is a grayscale heightmap, suitable for use as a displacement map in 3D applications.
