Nordstrom Tower set to become tallest residential structure in the world at 1,775ft

  • The Nordstrom Tower is under construction on West 57th Street in Manhattan and will be completed in 2018

  • It will measure 1,775 feet at its spire - which is 300 feet taller than anything else in Midtown but one foot shorter than One World Trade Center

  • It means Manhattan will retake the 'tallest roof' title from Chicago's Willis Tower and take over a Mumbai building as the tallest residential building.
