The New Yorker
449-foot, 41-story Art-Deco hotel completed in 1930 for developer Mack Kanner. Designed by Sugarman & Berger, its pyramidal, set-back tower structure somewhat resembles that of the Empire State Building, which lies just a couple blocks due east on 34th Street. For many years, the New Yorker Hotel was New York’s largest hotel. In 1941, the prominent red “New Yorker” sign was installed on the top floors. Inventor Nikola Tesla spent the last ten years of his life in this building.
I’ve always wanted to recreate this huge and iconic building. It looks somewhat eerie and dystopian, like something from Batman movies. It took ages to model its complex geometry and draw various intricate decorative elements, but I hope you like the result! Please leave a like, that’s all I need. You can also check out other cool buildings in my collection.
Have a great holiday!
