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 neighboring buildings. Since the mid-1980s, one major advance in tall building design has been the increase in slenderness ratios, allowing buildings on narrow lots to be built taller.
