**National Geographic just published an interactive map of the future skyline of New York City. Titled “The New New York Skyline,” the map takes a look at some interesting projects such as the supertall 125 Greenwich Street, the 80-story 3 WTC, 56 Leonard Street (also know as the Jenga building, which looks very similar to our own URL Harborside), and the 99-story Central Park Tower (also known as the Nordstrom Tower), which will be the tallest building in the United States. It’s a fascinating read if you’re an architect geek or just interested in seeing what our neighbors across the Hudson are up to. —National Geographic
