Sliver building

A sliver building is a tall building constructed on a lot with a narrow frontage, more specifically in New York City, 45 feet (14 m) or less that is taller than other buildings on the same street. Since the mid-1980s, one of the most remarkable advances in tall building design has been their construction to unprecedented slenderness ratios, allowing buildings on narrow lots to be built taller.
