In this brief vlog, Jason Nicholas stands on Madison Avenue at East 48th Street and gives viewers a visual tour of the JP Morgan Chase headquarters while it is still under construction. He notes that the building appears close to completion compared with a previous visit, and he highlights the distinctive angled steel bracing at the base, explaining that this structural system was required to accommodate subway tunnels beneath the site. The video ends with a typical creator call‑to‑action, encouraging viewers to like the video and subscribe for more New York City architecture and urban‑sketching content.

Hello, uh, here's a quick snippet of the JP Morgan Chase headquarters building. So if you want to take a look at it. So I'm here on Madison and East 48th Street. Um, pretty impressive building. We'll get a look from it down here. A little further away. Yeah, you can see it's still under construction. Uh, looks like they're almost done. I'm not sure, but it's definitely further than when I was here last time. Uh, the base is really, really interesting if you see the structure here. So that structure was designed because of the subway tunnels underneath and how they had to support the building. So they had these really angle, uh, angular kind of steel bracing and supports going down into the earth. So I thought it'd be cool just to give you guys a glimpse of, uh, the JP Morgan Chase building. All right, see you on the next one. Be sure to hit that like button, please. I would love that. And subscribe if you haven't for more NYC stuff and for architectural and urban sketching. See you guys soon. Jason Nicholas.
