New York City - 2025
The iconic skyline of New York City has been constantly changing over the years - and today, we'll be taking a glimpse into the future to see some of the city's impressive upcoming developments. By 2025, many key projects and towers are set to open, dramatically changing the look of this iconic skyline for years to come.
One of the first new developments was the set of ultra-luxury super tall skyscrapers constructed along Central Park's southern edge, dubbed "Billionaire's Row." Foreign investment in recent years has poured money into the area, leading to a building boom - and the 1,550 ft tall Central Park Tower and 1,438 ft tall Steinway Tower are set to join a number of other recently completed supertalls. Not only will they rank among the world's tallest buildings, but the most expensive as well.

The World Trade Center complex will continue to rise as well in upcoming years, with the 1,358 foot tall Two World Trade Center set to open in 2022.
Another one of the city's largest and most ambitious projects is the Hudson Yards complex in West Midtown. Construction initially started in 2012 and isn't expected to be fully completed until 2036, but by 2025 many of the key towers will be completed, dramatically changing the look of New York's skyline from the Hudson River.
Recently revised zoning regulations in East Midtown has led to a number of new supertalls popping up in recent years like the 1,301 foot tall One Vanderbilt - set to open in 2020.
By 2025, the 1,400 foot tall 270 Park Avenue tower will dramatically rise over East Midtown thanks to these new zoning regulations - and with even more towers likely on the way, the iconic skyline of New York City will only continue to rise.
