Standing tall over the hustle and bustle of the city that never sleeps, the staircase has been designed to be a functional work of art, with each step carefully crafted to double as a bench for the weary pedestrian.
The city's mayor has promised to make it a hub for local artists, with a call for submissions for installations and performances to be held on the staircase.
We can't wait to see what other surprises this staircase holds!
