You're right.. I'm going to give you shit for this.. why would you make a stupid comment like that? And yes, I am Chinese.

As a person who crosses at crosses West street every day, one odd observation I've noted is while only a very small percentage of people (except students) will use the bridge at Chambers, the pattern...

NEW YORK, Aug 15 (Reuters) - New York State approved $1.65 billion of tax-free Liberty bonds for Goldman Sachs' (GS.N: Quote, Profile, Research) new Lower Manhattan headquarters,...

I'm willing to bet that there will be planters, bollards, or some other sort of street level protection in place when those buildings are finished.

In the post 9/11 world, visual asthetics are going to take a back seat to security for any office tower. That's the unfortunate reality. Just look at the FT and even WFC - it's completely...

I don't understand how Murray Street would be reversed - it's a two way street.

I liked the fact last year that you could walk right up to the base of the lights at site 26, and see the beams directly from the point of origin which was really an amazing perspective. Not sure...
