I just need to take a step back for a moment and note that this entire thread is spectacular. When you think about Downtown Brooklyn 10 years ago, and where it will be 10 years from now, I don't...

The one-story building you see here in this street view sits on a prominent site next to Yankee Stadium that was recently upzoned to encourage high-density development. It's in the city's...

Is that the bldg on the NE corner of Concourse Village West and 158th Street? Is that building merely attached to the mall with no actual connection between them, so that everyone must use the...

It will be interesting to see if they are expanding the existing building. It looks big enough for a huge self storage facility. But they seem to be building in the parking lot. I could be wrong....

Thanks E.M. Good find.

There is a construction fence up around the triangular parking lot at the foot of Gerard Avenue, where it meets Exterior Street between 140th and 144th Streets. Does anyone know what's going on there?

^ WOW!!! What a find! The towers look great, and would be a phenomenal addition to Concourse Village.

"A 120-unit housing facility" - is that the same thing as an apartment building? God, I can't stand NIMBYists, and this article doesn't help any. "Now that I live here, I don't want anyone else to!"

There seems to be a lot going on there. Here's a little piece of it, but I doubt this is all:

The Daily News finally got around to reporting what ASchwartz mentioned above, 18 months ago: that there are plans for a lot more of this in the works. The News naturally tries to gin up controversy,...

Courtlandt Crescent seems to be nearing completion, rounding out a nice batch of development in Melrose Commons North. Here's a view from 163rd Street and Melrose Avenue, looking southwest. Note the...

First, the Melrose Central Building added their first retail tenant, a Checkers fast food joint (which is actually really good). So that was evidently successful enough that they've decided to expand...

That is a thing of beauty. It's very well integrated into the campus and very fitting for an academic building. In fact, it's one of the better buildings on campus, in my opinion.

I like the new facade a lot. It seems appropriate for a world deliberative body that needs to play it safe, yet spruces things up nicely.

So, when are they going to build the new tower on the...

Here's a shot from yesterday of that new high school at 144th Street and Park Avenue that I was mentioning earlier. This replaces a parking lot and the four-story Chairmasters warehouse seen here in...

OK. I'm just going to come right out and say it. Maybe I'm not the only one who has been thinking this?

The height of One57 in and of itself is phenomenal - a great addition to the city. The...

Interesting. Thanks, everyone.

They have added more floors and setbacks, but the caging is still there. In fact, it's multiplied. What is this stuff?

As seen through the Central Park tree canopy, from the Loop Drive at about W. 72nd Street, One57 rises serene in the distance ... supreme and paramount.

Yes, and one at about the fourth floor as well. That should let them get a little more height, or, as you say, 28 stories.

It looks like it's about 12 stories now. How high will it go???

It is kind of ironic that this tower just happens to be located directly in front of / blocking the views of / what were already three of the tallest residential towers in all of NYC: CitySpire,...

The penthouse is the most expensive apartment ever.

Detroit and the South Bronx in the 1970s and 1980s would have appeared on the same trajectory of depopulation and decay. For Detroit, and plenty of other cities in the rust belt, that has trend...
