	Once-troubled CitySpire is now sold out - New York, New York, apartment tower Real Estate Weekly - Find Articles
		We never regarded CitySpire to be anything but an undervalued asset worth saving." Even to the point of spending $4 million to finish Helmut Jahn's unfinished symphony.
		Ostensibly completed in 1989, CitySpire was indeed a "work-in-progress." Aside from the unfinished apartments, commitments that the developer had made to the city to settle several outstanding claims against the building were left unmet.
		CitySpire would also be something of a challenge to the Zeckendorf Organization, as it had never before marketed a high-rise building the firm hadn't designed or developed.

		Most of the important Central Park views to the north in CitySpire are obstructed significantly by the two other towers.

		By the 1970s, Pelli was a well-known partner in a large Los Angeles firm, just beginning the transformation of his work from glassy high tech to highly textured, more or less old-fashioned forms.

		Three factors changed the shape of skyscrapers at mid–century: the trend toward modern architecture, the use of fluorescent lights, and a zoning law, passed in 1961, that encouraged the creation of plazas at the sidewalk level, allowing skyscrapers to grow much taller and bulkier in exchange for this space.
		Many of the skyscrapers from the past four decades are built as square towers set in a plaza, a style typified by the Citigroup Center and the now–destroyed World Trade Center.
		The fifteen skyscrapers in this section are the tallest buildings that New York City has produced, and all of them are, or were, among the hundred tallest buildings in the world.
