Great stuff, very comprehensive. Lots of piles downtown...do we count the hotel at 8 stone st? Lots more mcsam's to come down there as well.

Most of the open space development has been great...

Some of the most terrible calls I've seen of late. Swisher clearly out on the pickoff move....so they do a make-up call and say he tagged too early. I was actually okay with that. Cano's bone head...

Mets bitterness aside, the micro-managing done by Girardi finally came back to bite him in the ass. What an unnecessary and unfounded move to put in Aceves. Zip is right- he's hoping these groundless...

Yea, impressive Buff. Even if it's not the final rendering, I think it'll probably be close to what we end up with.

I was thinking, just because it's two towers doesn't mean it's 2 identical...

I really liked the bayed design. This will be perfectly boring, exactly what the neighborhood was looking for.

Comparing the proposed addition to a fedders box is extreme and way off. I see high quality brick/windows, no balconies with hideous railings, and a nice way of meeting the street.

Everyone here...

^Sounds like the rigid guidelines we saw in BPC. Trade in brick for gray/blue glass. What's the retail like in Vancouver?

How is that economical for a developer when he could build a 65 story tower instead? I don't think this building deserved landmark status as is...it's very clumsy looking and well, very under built.

Tishman Speyer seems to like Gensler (8th Ave Intercontinental)

^I feel the same way, but am leaning towards preservation to prevent the ungainly proposal from seeing the light of day.

^I gotcha.

Fabrizio- wouldn't that situation encourage abuse by those looking to get painkillers for recreational use? No id necessary, is that really a good thing? What would be stopping a teenager from going...

Glad my prediction was off!

To name the greatest living architect is like naming the greatest living baseball player. There will be one, 2 or 3 frontrunners, but a case can be made for dozens.

Gehry is a frontrunner in my...

Rivalry ensues tonight.

I say Yanks take 3 of 4. Glad Mitre pitched yesterday- even more glad that the Yankees found a way to win.

Very sharp. Trump delivered a gem to Chicago. It doesn't stand out for a 1,100 foot tower, but that's ok.

^lol darlene isn't bad to wake up to.

^Its currently 50 stories tall.

Losing My Religion- REM

The early-mid 90's were a gold mine for music. I'm too young to get nostalgic though.

The Minaya era is a disaster.

Thanks for sharing the renderings. Mind if I ask who you work for? Developer? Architect?

It's a great looking project and yes, very large. A good form of urban renewal.

Cities: Great job today, way to show up in support of it. We're all proud!

^From that press release I went onto the developer's website

Pesky flash, otherwise I'd post the images. But under portfolio --> pre-development projects...

Look at that topography! This might be it, I noticed it on Hugo Subotovsky's website not too long ago:
