agreed. Unbelievable location to have a cemented vacant lot with a chain link fence around it. Very sad.

there was some sort of fair or something going on there for several days. Everything is gone now and the sad, empty, prime space lot remains vacant with the chain link fence around it. Such an eye...

not sure how much of an impact it'll have on the Queens side looking west. Perhaps just slightly peeking over the plateau.

does anyone have any diagrams of the impact of this building on the skyline from the east?

Agreed. I don't like the tower but at least we get some height back in lower Manhattan.

So how many more actual feet to go?

it's really so sad. I walk by it everyday and remember watching them tear that down and although I was sad to see it go the anticipation of what would rise made it less painful...
and today we have...

do they have about 5 more floors to go?

research on Mexico City..? You're kidding right? I know it well.
You seem to be missing the point that Mexico City, a third world country's largest city,
has far superior subway stations to that...

I haven't consulted the Oxford dictionary for the precise definition of third world but I think it's safe to say that Mexico as a country comes quite close.
Specific terminology aside I think the...

Mexico City comes to mind...

Actually I was born here although did live in Europe for over 15 years. Comparisons with the third world are not far off. Have you taken a subway in any other country in the world and seen stations...

I drive only on weekends but have hit a massive pot whole twice on Delancey Street right at the entrance of the Williamsburg Bridge and blew the tires.

The road conditions in New York are a...

wasn't the plan for a rail link to the airports from lower Manhattan completely scrapped?

why?
Staten Island could have been the jewel of the 5 boroughs but has been ruined by makeshift row houses, over the top mansions and a traffic nightmare due to lack of public transportation. It's...

There are two new buildings going up at Broadway and Bedford.
Does anyone have any info. as to the what they are?

I couldn't agree with you more! They raised a nice building without money in place to build?
How does this happen? It should be illegal! What an eyesore for midtown Manhattan!
I fear that pit will...

Nothing going on now at the site. The crain was removed and I haven't seen anyone there since. Although I suppose no one could have predicted the economic downturn, it's a real shame they couldn't...

It would certainly make sense to use the underutilized tunnels. Why did they even consider building a new one?
One thing is certain, they need to do something. This is one of the world capitals and...

Some of these are simply stunning!
Unfortunately for me the buildings I like least are the ones either being built or already built!

There is infact nothing wrong with the name per se but it does sound like a hokey Bush"ism"....
WTC will undoubtedly be used locally while the tourists flocking to the site will refer to it as The...

I'm excited about the project as a whole and from afar it looks quite attractive but the lower half up close looks less than exciting.

To my understanding the Port Authority now owns Stewart. I am curious though as to after the initial news about Stewart becoming the 4th major airport, why there has been very little discussion about...

so the discussion continues about whether to auction or not auction slots instead of a more realistic and beneficial approach to the future of our city and air travel. Where are the concrete plans...

I find the facade and building shape quite nice close up but from the distance looking from Brooklyn the shape of the building is nothing but short and fat.
