"The 1.6-million-square-foot (150,000 m2) skyscraper's roof is 1,301 feet (397 m) high and its spire is 1,401 feet (427 m)..."This phrasing makes it sound as if the spire alone is 1,401 feet. Maybe specify the top of the spire?
"...were saved by the developer, to be stored until the New York Landmarks Conservancy found a place for them."Odd phrasing here. Would just "...were saved by the developer and stored until..." work?
"One Vanderbilt's roof is 1,301 feet (397 m) high and its spire is 1,401 feet (427 m)"See Lead concern
"83 rock ties"What are "rock ties"? Source doesn't elaborate, and Google doesn't seem to help either. Are these possibly tiebacks?
"On the third floor is an amenity center known as the Vandy Club, which consists of an auditorium, boardroom, and flexible meeting space."The Urbanize NYC and Gensler sources both refer to the place as "the Vandy Club", so I changed the name to that in the article. However, it is still unclear in these sources whether the the "auditorium, boardroom, and flexible meeting space" are part of the Vandy Club, or are just other third floor features. I couldn't read the Crain's source, so I wanted to check with you instead.
"The subsequent 58 floors are designated as 1.7 million square feet (160,000 m2) of "Class A" office space."What does "Class A" mean? The best and most modern office spaces? (I also don't agree with replacing it with just "The subsequent 58 floors are used as office space." since it loses out on the designation and square footage details)
"The developer rejected the offer, calling it a "publicity stunt" because it valued the air rights at $600 per square foot, nearly 10 times the $61 per square foot ($660/m2) Penson paid for it when he bought the station in 2006"Ambiguous pronoun usage here: is the offer valuing the air rights at $600/ft2 or the developer? (I assume the former, but I can't access the source)
Some concerns on the reliability of the following sources:
Most of these sources are backed by more reliable sources in the article, so their omission hopefully won't cause too much trouble.
Other sources look fine, but there seems to be a lot of Curbed NY sources. Curbed NY is ostensibly a blog, but I am not yet able to verify each author's expertise or the publication's fact-checking (if any). Have previous editors in your review experience accepted Curbed NY (or the authors here) as reliable? (I know I implictly did for one Curbed NY article when reviewing the Seagram Building, but I still want to check since it seems to be more critical here) Ditto for New York YIMBY and 6sqft.
