In 2016, Dubai set its sights on the sky once again. The city announced a tower that aimed to rise beyond the Burj Khalifa, beyond 828 meters, and beyond every structure ever built. Dubai Creek Tower promised more than height. It promised a statement. A slender, glowing structure would rise from the desert, held by…
High in the Himalayas, where mountains tear upward without warning and a river cuts violently through stone, engineers committed to an idea that most professionals would reject on the first review.

This is no ordinary skyscraper. Rising sharply over Manhattan’s skyline, 262 Fifth Avenue has become a symbol of bold ambition and bitter controversy.

I stood on a downtown corner last fall, staring up at glass towers that once held the future. They now stand half-empty. The silence inside them says more than words ever could.
