Out-of-this-world NYC skyscraper aims to hang from an asteroid

Ever wonder what a building would look like hanging over Manhattan — because it drapes down over the city from outer space? An architecture firm has formally drafted renderings for the unusual concept.

The firm Clouds Architecture Office has fully imagined a particularly pie-in-the-sky development plan, namely to hang a skyscraper upside-down from an asteroid so that it hovers over New York City.

“Analemma Tower is a proposal for the world’s tallest building ever,” reads a description of the otherworldly structure on Clouds’ website. “Harnessing the power of planetary design thinking, it taps into the desire for extreme height, seclusion and constant mobility. If the recent boom in residential towers proves that sales price per square foot rises with floor elevation, then Analemma Tower will command record prices, justifying its high cost of construction.”

That is, if the tower can ever be built.

Clouds released plans for the building — which residents would access by drone after moving between space and New York City via an electromagnetic elevator — back in 2017. Although it continues resurfacing online, little appears to have been done to bring the ambitious project closer to reality.

The initial proposal called for Analemma to be constructed over Dubai, “which has proven to be a specialist in tall building construction at one fifth the cost of New York City construction,” the site reads.

Whether or not science allows for the supertall to physically become a reality, there’s still market-value there. Indeed, it would be far from the first unbuilt piece of real estate to sell in the city.

Late last year, a nonexistent Dubai home commanded more than $136 million, despite not being slated for completion until 2027, The Post reported at the time.

But of course, that residence is set to be built on Earth.
