This residential tower at 4 102nd St., between 5th Ave. and Madison has been well underway for a while and has topped out.

Fifth Avenue's Most Needed Distraction Rising Fast

It looks like Durst Fetner Residential's new luxury rental building at 102nd Street between Fifth and Madison is going up pretty quickly.
As part of a multilayer deal struck with Mount Sinai Medical Center, Durst Fetner Residential took the reins on a new rental tower to be built on 102nd Street between Fifth and Madison Avenues, above the mechanicals that will service a new SOM-designed hospital building. There was some squabbling over whether the new tower would plunge Central Park into darkness, but those fears were overshadowed (pun intended!) by the joy of a new building to draw the eye of park visitors away from the Annenberg Building,
A tipster sent us these pics, adding "I see this thing from Astoria and it went up amazingly fast. If only the 2nd Avenue subway knew that secret... " Hopefully it won't be too long before the building will avert your gaze from the Annenberg Building aka the Mount Sinai Deathstar. Even though the new tower will cast a shadow over Central Park, the gentrification of East Harlem South will stop for nobody!
