This tower looks very imposing and impressive when looking/driving down from the West Side Highway starting around the Chelsea/West Village area.

Also starting to dominate the downtown skyline when viewed from Brooklyn.

How many stairs to go?

**antinimby** · December 28th, 2011, 11:42 AM

Not nearly enough, at least for me.

I keep wanting/hoping that there's a lot more left to go however it appears there's about 10 floors or so more.

Ten more floors would mean how many stairs?

Reminds me of something I forgot about, which was as a high school student back in the 80's entering the Empire State Building and finding a stairwell and trying to climb to the top. I think we made it some 50 floors before getting tired. That sure was another era of innocence, at least in terms of security for access within such public buildings.

Uh....no. We were 15 years old acting silly like 15 year olds sometimes do in a non-destructive manner. We were all honor students who would sometimes skip school and take the Metro North trains into the city. One of us is now a lawyer, another owns his own company that builds stents used in heart surgery, one owns a Manhattan production company that produces television commercials and documentaries, and the other is an international account manager for a European company.
