The viewing platform, 1100 feet high, will be the fifth tallest in the world and overlooks the Hudson River.
Since the observation deck will protrude 65 feet from the building, there will be windows on the floor through which visitors can look down and take dizzying photos.

The site will consist of steel and glass 15 sections, each weighing from 35 000 to 102 000 pounds. They are collected in Italy and delivered to the city by ferry.

The 90-storey building, which will appear at: 30 Hudson Yards, was designed Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates.
When it is finished next year, it will be the second largest office building in the city after One World Trade.
It will include offices, a restaurant, a bar, an event venue, many shops and tenants, such as DNB Bank, Time Warner Inc. and Wells Fargo.
According to Business Insider, Hudson Yards is the largest development project in American history, covering about 28 acres, and worth about 25 billions of dollars.
