The view from the unfinished south face of 45 E. 22nd St., now the tallest building between Midtown and the Financial District.
We're in rarefied air, 777 feet above Manhattan's Beaux-Arts Flatiron District - well higher than the golden tops of the Metropolitan Life Tower and New York Life Building a few blocks north.
"We're actually looking down on Rupert Murdoch's three floors at the top of that tower there," said Eichner, founder of the real estate development firm The Continuum Company, with a rather professional smile.
He's pointing down to the top of One Madison, which, until about a month ago, owned the airspace above Madison Square Park.
No more.
