That's 450 Park Avenue. I've always admired this building, it may be a box but its very dignified and classy with the repetition of slightly arched segments, it also has excellent proportions.

Carnegie Hall Tower, Cityspire, Metropolitan Tower, and One 57 remind me of the trees of the rainforest each tries to grow higher than the other to get that precious resource - the sun, in this case...

This building was already built uptown on Madison Avenue in 1982!

Even in 1982 the design was boring, there's little to nothing...

I like this building a lot. One little pet peeve though - the window at the top show be intended, ala Citicorp Center instead of protruding as it currently is.

There will be once the second avenue subway is completed.

Yes its an existing building. The rendering shows no tumor additions by Kaufman - thank god.

Its glossy but honestly I'm not a fan - it looks like it could've been proposed in 1983.

^PM'd you.

The intersection of John and Broadway is by no means a shabby location - you'll have premier retail here. Jeff Sutton only invests in prime retail locations.

Of course you dont even mention the 950 and 1250 foot sharply faceted towers behind them. Its a tired act. Were you one of those kids who complained that the music was too loud at parties?

The sad thing is two very prominent developers are behind this. I would expect much better.

That is really bad. Downtown continues to have among the very best and the very worst new buildings.

At the end of the day this will be a gorgeous building. The glass and shape is already turning out far better than the renderings suggested. And 1.3 billion dollars for a building, especially a...

Not only is this building bad it flies in the face of every design convention. Buildings are suppossed to get lighter the higher they go not heavier, the two treatments should be reversed, but even...

Theres one nearby at Time Warner Center.

I originally thought it was ridiculous and for vanity reasons but it turns out the imperitus was structural reasons.

I can understand why the building is a box. Being so narrow and tall it has to have a boxy shape, if it tapered or set back the top units would be rendered unusable. That said finish the building...

Daquan. Please stick to posting "nice picture" posts. Thanks

^ I feel like I just read a 'Zagat' review. Perhaps you can 'recommend' a 'nice' restaurant where 'entrees' aren't 'overly pricey'.

Via Verde looks good. I was worried when I heard that it was value engineered but it came out nicely, I wish other low income developments had a similar architectural quality, it would give people a...

What the hell are you guys talking about? Take it from the top is a well known music term meaning to start the song from the beginning. They're obviously reaching out to young actors and musicians,...

I don't like the spiral spire - it's frilly.

This structure belongs either in roosevelt island or an upstate city, not at all appropriate for a new construction next to the most famous site in the world.

^PM'd you.
