Prospect Tower

45 Tudor City Place · “The First Unit” · No. 45

What is true

The first building completed — 22 floors, ~403 apartments — and among the first skyscrapers in the world built for living, not working. It carries the rooftop TUDOR CITY sign.


What it became

It was finished first because the seal had to start somewhere. The sign is not advertising. It is a lid.


The sign's other name

The rooftop sign sheds its letters. Rearrange them — it remembers other names. Find the one it hides.

Tap a letter to lift it to the sign. Tap it again to drop it back. One of the hidden names is the way through.
