“07.09 On the Midtown Skyline, a Race to the Clouds西半球最高住宅楼加剧曼哈顿“摩天竞赛” The race to the sky has kicked into high gear in Midtown Manhattan, where a new round of luxury skyscrapers aimed at multimillionaires is on the rise in and around West 57th Street. If all goes according to the developers’ plans — and the market cooperates — the towers will climb to new heights in just a few years, setting price records, casting long shadows over Central Park and significantly altering the city’s skyline. 曼哈顿中城的“摩天竞赛”已经进入快车道，新一轮面向百万富翁的奢华摩天大楼建设正在西57街及其周边如火如荼地展开。如果一切按照开发商的计划顺利进行，市场情况也不错的话，这些大楼将在接下来几年创下建筑新高和市场新高，还会在中央公园投下长长的影子，大大改变这个城市的天际线。 A rendering from New York Yimby, a pro-development website that tracks construction in New York City, shows what the skyline might look like, circa 2018, from Sheep Meadow in Central Park.

(In January, it also broke the record for the highest p
