Seem Familiar II?

One of the tallest buildings in Manhattan’s Lower East Side is the 687-foot-tall 55 Water Street. It was built in 1974. Featuring an almost identical facade, Raleigh’s One Progress Plaza was completed in 1977 and has 21 floors (~280 feet).

    Familiar except for a 400′ difference. Sad – it’s been 35 years since that New York (over 60 floors) building was constructed. Raleigh does not have a building over 50 floors to this day (not comparing markets, but this is the capital of NC).

    Funny you point out this building in NYC. I have been in this building several times as my cousin use to work in this building. Great location. This was during the Wall Street issues around 1986. They always thought they were being bugged by the government and probably were.

    Anyway, was a fairly nice building back then.

    What exactly are you trying to getting at with these comparisons?
