  CitySpire Center at AllExperts
The CitySpire Center is the tallest mixed-use skyscraper in New York City, located on West 56th Street between 6th and 7th Avenues in Midtown Manhattan.
The Moorish-inspired dome, which is an homage to the nearby New York City Center on West 55th Street, is illuminated at night with a white light.
CitySpire Center is very close to two skyscrapers on 57th Street, Carnegie Hall Tower (which mimics the design of its famous namesake concert hall) and Metropolitan Tower.

 Cityspire Building - New York Times
The Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing mentioned in the article entitled "Remaking Spaces for Public Use" in the Sept. 27, 1992, Real Estate section, was not a bankruptcy filing by the Cityspire building, but rather by the developer, West 56th Street Associates, of which Ian Bruce Eichner was the general partner.
It is as a result of the sponsor's bankruptcy filing that the public portions of the Cityspire building were not completed.
However, on Sept. 24, 1992, a plan of reorganization that had been proposed by Cityspire's board of managers together with the Bank of Nova Scotia, the mortgagee of the commercial condominium, and European American Bank, the holder of the mortgages on the 75 unsold apartments, was confirmed by the United States Bankruptcy Court.

 CitySpire Center - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The CitySpire Center is the tallest mixed-use skyscraper in New York City, located on West 56th Street between 6th and 7th Avenues in Midtown Manhattan.
CitySpire Center is very close to two skyscrapers on 57th Street, Carnegie Hall Tower (which mimics the design of its famous namesake concert hall) and Metropolitan Tower.
This is partly because of the sheer density and height of the buildings surrounding it, and its midtown inset location prevents it from being easily seen from outside the island of Manhattan.

 Once-troubled CitySpire is now sold out - New York, New York, apartment tower Real Estate Weekly - Find Articles
Its 24-story commercial base is separated from the 47-story residential section by two floors housing both mechanical equipment for the commercial base and a fully-equipped residential health club with 50-foot swimming pool, dry sauna and steam room and several recreational/-meeting rooms with wet bar.
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.

 The Midtown Book - The Metropolitan Tower   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
The apartment layouts in the former are surprisingly interesting and good and most have incredible views while the latter has unimaginative and rather small apartments but a sensational, tall and richly paneled lobby that puts Metropolitan Tower's to shame.
Needless to say, many apartments at CitySpire have frustratingly blocked views of Central Park, which are one of the reasons one might decide to build a super high-rise apartment tower in this neighborhood.
That is difficult to say clearly, but, assuming that Stewart-Gordon could have converted to capitalism earlier and sold her building to later reopen in the new, joined, complex, one very large building could have been built adjacent to the concert hall with considerably more office space and more and larger apartments.

The sound apparently is created by wind blowing over louvers on its dome, about 800 feet above the ground.

 TIME.com: Big Yet Still Beautiful -- Sep. 24, 1990 -- Page 1
Indeed, Carnegie Hall Tower, officially finished last week, is the finest high-rise to go up in New York City in a generation.
The feat is all the more salutary given the building's horribly overbuilt location: just 25 ft. east stands Metropolitan Tower, a grim, 66-story fl glass trapezoid finished in 1986 (only the two-story Russian Tea Room separates the two buildings), and less than a block south is architect Helmut Jahn's new 70-story Cityspire.
Yet instead of adding to the high-rise pile-on, Carnegie Hall Tower improves the neighborhood and the skyline -- in part by visually eclipsing Metropolitan Tower -- and proves that grandeur need not equal bulk.
