In a city where visual chaos is triumphant and context is not something universally admired or adhered to, one of the most remarkable architectural achievements/oddities is that the Empire State Building's solitary isolation has not been impinged upon, ever. A few towers have gone up several blocks away but nothing very close and nothing very tall.

This project, announced in 2004, however, encroaches somewhat on that isolation.

A mid-block development half a block away and across Fifth Avenue on the former site of five-story commercial buildings, it is a 42-story tower with about 250 condominium apartments, although it was marketed as a 50-story tower, probably reflecting that some floors have higher ceilings than others.

The 390,000-square-foot development was estimated to cost about $190 million and was a joint venture between Continental Properties, owned by the Fisch family and Jeffrey Levine's Douglaston Development.
