Is this a sign of urban landscapes to come? A new building at 804 Ninth Avenue in Manhattan rests its two top floors comfortably atop an older building that may as well be shrugging its shoulders and saying, "Eh." Either the developer failed to obtain rights to demolish the submissive structure, or this design was part of the plan all along. For now, it's somewhat of an anomaly here, but trends can't start without precedents, right?

It is a project designed by Cleanroom inc.
No air rights were bought, the owner built it "as of right".
The "entire" structure is owned by the same individual.
