How much does the Steinway Tower sway?

As with any building over a certain height, high winds can potentially cause noticeable swaying. A building as tall and slim as the Steinway Tower, which comes in at 435m (1,428ft), could move as much as 0.9m (3ft) on the upper floors. This could be nausea-inducing, until you get used to it!
