NYC Architecture and Development

Just cancel it. Or do what Baker did and send it back to the drawing boards. Too bad all the responsible parties are virtually worthless.

I'm willing to be there is already $1-2 billion in sunk costs already, so cutting a couple billion is probably out of the question.

I definitely liked the original design better, but I'm glad to see this project move forward regardless.

This is a devastating change for one of the towers I was most hoping to see get built. They took an all-time design, scaled it down in an area that desperately needs another supertall to challenge One WTC, and are turning it into a lamer version of the Winthrop Square Tower. From a skyscraper perspective this is possibly the worst news of the year to date.

a lamer version of the Winthrop Square Tower.

This is exactly what I thought when I saw the render!

Nevermind... The winning bidder didn't have the 10% on hand and ready to deposit yesterday, so the bidding restarts!
