It's not terrible. Frankly, the renders are pretty inconclusive, and depending on how the facade is done, this can turn out rather nice or very bad. But even in a worst case scenario it will be a...

I generally have a very high tolerance for highrise aesthetics compared to the rest of the forum - I don't really mind many of the buildings that many other forumers here find ugly. However, that...

Wow.

"Sadly, site constraints...

He doesn't even respect the context he has created himself.

This is upsetting.

Let's wait and see how the corner turns out once it's finished. It's no brilliant design feature, but it does break up an otherwise bland facade. Depending on how they proceed with the balconies, I...

4WTC is almost invisible in that shot.

I like how the pavement pattern pretty much matches the tower facade. On its own, the facade is one of the worst in the city, but it plays off the plaza nicely.

Looks like only marginal improvement. Tilted Arc presented a long, impenetrable curve that blocked the plaza from the street. The second plaza consisted of softer arcs, which nevertheless presented...

Yet another reason why I disliked the proposed design. How on Earth did they design a "seaport" that does not allow for mooring? Do they know what the word "port" means?

I say this has at least 110% chance of getting built.

Beautiful atrium. This will be one of the city's great indoor spaces, and the centerpiece of the subway system. Coupled with the centerpiece of the metro area's other subway system down a block-long...

The second one is in the center of Midtown yet the render makes it look like it's the only highrise around.

As long as I get to go first.

On the plus side, this tower maintains streetwall.

A rare occurrence - this looks like a better building than the adjacent pre-war tower.

Quite mediocre, especially the lowrise portion.

Take your time as needed, and keep up the good work.

The Alfred residents must be trembling in fear. How DARE someone develop a viable plot of land and block their precious views?!

The Statue is rather flimsy, having required multiple extensive repairs, and that 1916 incident almost dropped its right arm. I understand the symbolism and drama of the statue in cinematography, but...

The Cubes are nice, minus the tumor at the top.

Somehow the ancients survived on a day-to-day basis in their buildings, even though they might have been death traps by modern fire code and safety standards.

Why settle for the mediocre, outdated...

It does look weird but there is certain appeal to it. The plan was created as speculative fantasy anyway. I don't think SOM were being fully serious - the projects' creators probably realized how...

Little Brazil, meet wrecking ball.

At such a late point in construction, do they even need a new tower crane, or will the derrick alone suffice?
