Who Loves 17 State Street?!

[New Jack City]

I love this building, I think it's highly underrated and not talked about much, give it some of the attention it deserves! :D

i do! it looks simple, yet so elegant!

but i wish 1 battery park plz and 1 state st plz buildings behind it weren't that lame as 17 state.

many of the downtown nyc buildings r quite underrated, like american int'l and 60 wall. both r great but not as well known as others in midtown.

I loove that building it is kinda smooth, like the tip of manhattan rounding off

[Dennis]

amazing looking one

[MiCH]

I already said this was my fav in downtown manhattan like a year ago! I love it!

[rich209]

I like it..I remeber the first time I went to NY this tower was just being built - that was End of May 1987..

[TYW]

i love it too. looks tall and slender. great design and glass as well;)

[New Jack City]

Anyone notice the coincidence that the tower is located in Battery Park, and looks to me kind of like a battery? Or am I just going nuts? :nuts:

Truly stunning building that knows how to take advatnage of its position! :cheers:

[Skyscrapercitizen]

Hmm, it's not a ugly tower, it's ok, but it's not my style! I prefer the block just behind this one!

This one reminds me of Istanbul...

[giergel]

It looks a bit boring to me, nothing special (atleast not for NYC)

[Skyblade]

Beautiful.....just very, very beautiful. :D

[MiCH]

All people that don't like this tower....take another look... o_O

[boatman484dcmv]

Too me this is the first building that catches my attention when I look at pictures of Manhattan.
This building needs more attention so does 60 wall street.

Supposedly, 17 State follows the original curve of the tip of Manhattan, back when it was first settled by the Dutch. (And btw, I love this building, too. :))

I wish I had visited the WTC, but my wish newr be come truth because im live in Russia, and i dont like my country, but have 2 place in Russia where i like< it is Moskow and Volgoggrad-Stalingrad. But one dream still live in me, i wont in NewYork...city of my DREAMS...

[spicytimothy]

unexcitingly typical...

I can expect this generic variant of modern architecture of some medium-size Chinese city with a name the Americans have never heard of.

[Ellatur]

the interior is pretty nice
i once went here to park the car here, but the garage was not that impressive :)

[jmancuso]

the last time i was in new york, there was a short stubby building in that spot. but then again, the last time i was in new york, most of you were in diapers. i think it's time i go back...

[hella good]

HAVE ALWAYS LOVED IT

[New Jack City]

Seeing that this thread got revived, I'll add in the pictures I took of the building a couple of months ago:

Perfect location for this tower. That's what makes it so great.

[Patrick Highrise]

I think it on of the best glass buildings you can find in nyc. Its alignment with the curve of the island and the combination with the park in front of it is just a great addition. :)

[LeCom]

It's been among my favorites since back when I was just getting into skyscrapers.
