Yes! It's absolutely amazing. I like the view from the other side (with the balconies), as well, but that front-on is stunning.

Glad you posted this ^^^. I also have a close friend who works in City Hall and he's equally effusive about what a great space it is to be in, professionally.

I don't dislike SST at all, and like it far more than many here (or the author of that article). Wish it was as ambitious and exciting as One Congress, though. One Congress sprouting out of the S. Station headhouse rather than what we have would be far more impressive. I don't mind that SST is...

That should -- and, consequently, of course WON'T -- happen.

If the building itself wasn't dragged down by an awful "plaza" -- or, better yet, if it had the great one it and the city deserve -- then I suspect folks would think much more kindly towards City Hall. Taken as a whole experience, the area is grim and unpleasant, but the building is excellent...

There's not "a lot of 'there' there" with this piece, but ran across it the other night.

super informative post -- thanks!

I'm always surprised that Vicinity smokestack building is still there. It's so gross.

Every single aspect of your post is inarguably accurate. Guessing you're local -- consider running for city council at large or ward city council (seriously). You already have my vote.

Amazing that anyone ever thought that would be a good idea...

Ever try to navigate Châtelet-Les Halles or Shinjuku? I want for U.S. train systems -- and stations -- to up their game (and to do so quickly), but SS is pretty good.

great pix!

tossed in some of the lounge pix, as well -- I realize in no way related to the new tower, but it seemed like a decent amount of folks were interested in that area. it's really cool and once again the staff were (today) very accomodating and proud and happy to let me roam around and check it...

Nearly all of the errant panels have been filled in.

I'm there 5 days a week (if we're going there, which seems dumb). Sorry the font and placement upsets you(?).

The arches are amazing and there's so much to celebrate about the whole project -- that anyone is critiquing the fucking font and kerning (good for you for having a vague awareness of leading and kerning. very smart...) of the gate signs is so fucking idiotic. We examine and find fault with...

really?
