Steinway Tower, located at 111 West 57th Street in NYC, opened to residents in 2022. It currently holds the enviable title of the world's skinniest skyscraper.
The building stands 1,428 feet (435 meters) tall but is no more than 60 feet (18 meters) wide, giving it a width ratio of 24:1. If you're having trouble imagining how wide the building is, think of it this way: It's just 6 inches (15 centimeters) shorter than the distance from the pitcher's mound to home plate in a major league baseball game.
Only 2 other skyscrapers in New York City – One World Trade Center, which stands at 1,776 feet (541 meters) tall, and Central Park Tower, which is 1,550 feet (472 meters) tall, are taller.
There is a slight downside to living among the clouds. The dimensions of the tower make it highly susceptible to swaying – as much as 3 feet (0.9 meters) – when hit by high winds. Some visitors have complained of severe nausea because of the swaying.

But....... if you can get past the urge to blow chunks, there is this stuff to enjoy:
While the design may be a tribune to old New York, the amenities are all about modern living. They feature an 82-foot-long two-lane swimming pool surrounded by private cabanas, sauna, steam room, double-height fitness center with its own mezzanine terrace, private dining room, and a chef’s catering kitchen, residents’ lounge boasting an expansive terrace, and a dedicated concierge service.

I'd like to tour this place. But live there? No way.
Grace & Peace & Love to you all -
