The Big Bend, once it’s erected and bent at its highest central point, will change the way the skyline of New York City looks now. The Empire State Building with a roof height of 1250 feet (1454 feet including the antenna), which has been dominating the city skyline for years, will be dwarfed once The Big Bend is completed. The U-shaped curved structure will be a whole new tourist attraction in New York, the Big Apple.
