I am a commercial millwork and cabinet designer. Nothing thrills me more than walking into a place and seeing the finished product. To tell someone that I designed everything that is wood in this building and see their reactions is a joy to behold. People using have no idea who I am or what went into making it, but they like the finished product.

Cheddar aka NewYorkTV

So that new high rise in Brooklyn is basically a mini burj

I'm very happy to see a Carol in this video 2:03 as a fan of the Skyscraper Museum channel

Yes! This was the video I was waiting for. I love the World Trade Center and other iconic skyscrapers in the city. This video really gives a perspective on what it's like to build them. THX Cheddar News!

Love the passion of the iron workers. All of the people in finance and tech make the big bucks, but they don’t leave any sort of physical mark on the city itself.

All this new construction in nyc, and Chicago is left in the dust. Unfortunately the Chicago Spire was canceled several years ago, as well as other mega tall building projects….

Great show. So satisfying to hear the engine come to life. It would be great to see it again once it's back on the road.

I LOVE THIS!! I always get so excited when Cheddar posts.

Journeyman in local 40 can pull well into 6 figures in nyc, but it’s not easy work.

4:39 The Brooklyn Tower is one of my favorites to go up, plus more Supertalls to come here in NYC, thank you for this!

as much as I like some of these sky scrapers, I dont like that they have to tear down alot of really old historic buildings

bro said cubic yards 😭

11:20 after a certain high, its not longer "efficient" its just for prestige. Specialy thin and tall buildings

Wow amazing, we also have a lot of skyscrapers in Mumbai which looks amazing, but NYC is another thing, I would say Mumbai took inspiration from NYC. The process in which he explained how they covered the railway line was amazing.

Wow this is what I needed

Good video. I inspected 100 Flatbush ave the day before they shot this short movie. Amazing site, but had to issue them 3 violations, for 2 rakers on 1 heel block, crane radius swing over personnel and slope at exp1 sharper than 45 degrees. The guys there were very helpful, and run a great project.

Local 3 electrician I worked on a lot of the buildings included in this video and the views are amazing. I literally just came from working at Manhattan west awesome project.

It’s so crazy seeing my apartment in videos like these as I live right next to dekalb tower/brooklyn tower. Get to see it everyday out my window

The first two skyscrapers built in NYC were the Chrysler Building and the Iconic Empire State Building. Then, the World Trade Center’s Twin Towers, finally, the One World Trade Center, One Vanderbilt, Central Park Tower and 432 Park Avenue.

I have never once thought of a tall horse when thinking about a skyscraper. lolz wut

Amazing..

Wait what the Brooklyn Tower is already topped off currently 🤣🤣

Kind of wonder on average how long does it take for projects in NYC to break ground relative to announcement of projects?

Brilliant video

The more skyscrapers, the better!! More skyscrapers please!!

Very cool!

Damn! This was a good one. I so admire New York's evolution. I don't know how I could live there like I would like to and stay honest. It's just so impressive.

It literally took 2 mins to get passed the intro. I’d like to get into more Cheddar videos but a lot of the times it’s a whole lot of nothing, slow talking, long intros or just repeated stuff. Keep up the NYC stuff tho

Awesome! NYC is the greatest City on earth!

"the *obsession of skyscraper construction in the most crowded city in America"

Good jobs

Wow❤

The Brooklyn Tower building is a perfect example of how to design a skyscraper that has character and elegance, while still being modern and practical. We need more buildings like that, and less of the generic sterile glass towers.

It was impressive back in the 1980s. New York City is starting to look like the world of The Jetsons. Even Queens and Brooklyn now have skyscrapers.

I just hope they keep the skyscrapers in the Downtown Brooklyn area

As many skyscrapers as NY has, I still think Chigago's are the most pleasing to look at.

How about starting building higher around NYC

Good.

RIP this is the last video of NYC Revealed Season 2

As a Newyorker i believe we have Pliny more room to build i wish this construction architect and engineers look up to build new skyscrapers in Union square Manhattan i know the ground is not strong enough for any skyscraper but if that was impossible to find the way to build.i think Dubai will never exist and more lest the world tallest building the Burj Khalifa. Which was created by an American architect

Most crowded city? Y'all ever heard about Tokyo 😏

Marty looks a little bit like The Donald. 😊

5:30

The background music in this video is very annoying. It really detracts from this interesting video.

Hong Kong has more than twice as many buildings

This skyscraper is being built near where the live action mario brothers live

Tokyo and Shanghai are bigger than NYC..✌

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

If they think building in New York is a challenge then they have not seen skyscraper construction in China or other Asian cities! Much more challenging in Asia!

Premiere city in the US for skyscrapers. Hong Kong has more.

building skyscraper is pointless. all of new york building are half empty and ghost town at night

Having been watching a mid rise go up across the road to where we live in downtown Manhattan over the past year I have been fascinated at the process of construction. But I’m afraid watching this video made me laugh out loud several times. First of all every single worker on our site is of Latin American decent, a reality not reflected in the carefully selected interviewees Cheddar have offered up. It looks for all the world like a closed shop situation, which is also reflected in their ‘we are above everyone else’ behavior. Far from being the proud professionals we see in Cheddar’s video, the construction workers themselves have gone from hero to zero by causing problems with the local community. Large groups of men indulging in after work drunkenness on the street, accompanied by the verbal abuse of passing women. Frankly disgusting behavior but even the NYPD can’t really do anything about it. Then came the cheating part. They cynically attempted to raise an additional five floors on top of the approved plans, hoping once it was already built the authorities would decide it was easier just to look the other way. I’m told this is common practice. The current situation is that we, the neighborhood, having initially been excited at watching this building being constructed, are now collectively very much looking forward to watching the process of these lawless misogynists deconstructing the contraband floors, having been forced to do exactly that by the city administration. Which I’m told is what happens (and too often). So, what sort of venal developer would condone such foul antics on their construction site? A university no less… As far as the work on site was concerned the process looked sophisticated but essentially routine. All risks managed. Safety built in. That much was impressive. But no more so than watching a well drilled racing sailboat crew going through their paces in any kind of weather. That said, go for it. Its exciting work. As is being a pro sailor. But if you are interested in a career in this specialist form of construction please be more like the people we see in this video and less like the reality I have encountered on my local street in New York City.

Why is he saying “I-Run” instead of “I-earn” for iron 🤷🏻‍♂️

Best city is the world

New York would have a lot more flexibility building new skyscrapers if there weren't such restrictive building rules, especially the floor-area ratio rules which didn't exist when the iconic skyscrapers were built. Remove the FAR rules and there's a lot more options with a lot more potential economic development, which would also help with a lot of the supposed "lack of land" issues which are to a large extent more about legal issues than any genuine physical restriction. The building codes and "extensive permitting process" mentioned in NYC are unnecessarily restrictive and this is a major problem. Some of this is necessary for safety, but a lot of places don't have many of these rules and manage to have lower accident rates.

Lol. NY is NOT the premier skyscraper city in the world. Is cheddar just a NYC spokesperson at this point? Lame.

I want work I have work permit

Now put in China.

Notice how he says women and men at 0:37

8:19 donald trump who?

Imagine saying “women and men” instead of just being normal and saying “men and women.” “M” is even first in the alphabetical order before “W.” So at this point it just looks you’re sexist against men.

No one does skyscrapers like New York.

Rad

The women and men? U mean the men and women?

You know being from the south I used to always be jealous of the north with all the Subways because I thought it was really cool and unique.. but now I feel like it's outdated and shady and kind of dangerous. A lot of cities including my city of Birmingham Alabama has been going toward BUS RAPID TRANSIT (BRT) which is laid out like very similar to the sub way Transit but on Wheels and above ground. A whole lot more economical and safer. But of course nothing will be as unique as the underground Subway

i spilled my water out when i saw the WTC almost here..... Rip people included in 9/11 🙏🕊️

Which is why it was easier to do 911 than to apply for all those permits

You mean men and woman.

This video makes me dislike NYC
