How New York City's Skyline Will Look in 2018

The supertall boom in New York City is happening. Although we've seen a few different visualizations of how this might look, here's a series of brand-new images that puts the changing skyline in perspective, with two dozen proposed or under-construction supertalls that will irrevocably change the New York City skyline by 2018.

Over at CityLab, Kriston Capps posts this series of renderings from City Realty that focus on the superskinny additions to West 53rd Street (now nicknamed "Billionaire's Row"), but you can also see the cluster of supertalls in the Financial District in the distance. After years of lagging behind other high-minded cites like Dubai and Mumbai, New York seems to be back in the skyscraper race in a major way. [CityLab]
