Welcome to the Elevator World News Podcast. Today’s podcast news podcast is sponsored by elevatorbooks.com: www.elevatorbooks.com NYC HARD ROCK'S EXTERIOR SHOWS QUICK PROGRESS The glass curtain wall on NYC's Hard Rock Hotel has nearly reached the top of the 35-story structure, a milestone that points to the speed with which the Times Square tower has come together, New York YIMBY reported on August 17. The 442-ft-tall, 291,000-ft2 tower being developed by Extell and Hard Rock International will bring 446 guest rooms and a list of amenities that includes two entertainment venues, meeting spaces, 24-hr dining options, a fitness center and a rooftop lounge. Set at 159 West 48th Street, the building's lower half is wrapped in dark reflective glass, and metal framework forms the perimeter of the multistory podium. Once complete, a crown of tall, blank walls will display a lighted Hard Rock logo. The elevators are being provided by Schindler, and the custom cabs are by Elevator Interior Design.
