I love the touch of realism with the inclusion of the ventilation grate. That's honesty. Too often a glass tower is presented as a shimmering wall of solid glass in pre-construction renders and mock-ups. Then the reality... Vertex on Northern Ave was disappointing for this reason, and don't...

First the cantilevers on 1POS and now here.... I'm inclined to agree with chrisbrat. But this does have its merits. For one thing it looks like it will go a long way toward brightening up what is always a dark and shadowy corner even during the day on a major and busy public square. And it...

It's a tough line to straddle, fitting in with the emerging scale of the new towers and not overwhelming the tenement. West End Place and Amy Lowell establish a scale more in line with what I was thinking. But if the footprint could be expanded there might be more flexibility. Not sure...

This is turning into a full blown thread derailment, and my apologies for continuing it.... This is sort of what I'm thinking. Forgive the kludgy artwork, but it gives the idea. The building on the left would be a 10 or 12 floor residential. The one on the right would be similar to the lone...

Blanton's on the rocks, as we speak. Although I usually go with Buffalo Trace for simple financial reasons.

Same! It's a wonder we can even function in this world.

Such a great view of this building. Gotta enjoy it while we can. I wonder... is anyone else slightly annoyed that the "steps" at the top of this building aren't the same height? I'm not complaining... nice clean roof line, consistent extension of the facade, no obvious mechanical screen...

You know what I love most about this project? The texture. There is depth in the framing of the windows, in how the narrow piers are slightly inset, in the little protruding blocks, and lots of other little touches. It's subtle but makes a huge difference. It's the sort of thing that looks...

If you thought the lone tenement looked out of place before, it's going to look downright lost sandwiched in between two 450 foot towers. I sincerely hope they never tear it down. I'd like to see a modest development on that triangle that saves/renovates the tenement in the process.

Yeah, I heard about this. So sad. What a talent. And so young too. I've never been into a band in my life like I was into Rush back in the 1980s. I always thought that I would get to a concert again one of these years but never did. I kind of regret that.

Awesome graphic. Here's a link to it full size: http://www.visualcapitalist.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/new_york_city_evolving_skyline.png
