That's to try and stop the next Sandy from washing everything away.

Awesome. Thanks for the update.

I love the facade on that tower. To each his own.

^ Indeed.

Brookfield owns the complex so naming after themselves is hardly whoring. They used the same name for an office complex they own in Toronto.

A gas station is a lot less likely to cause the kind of damage seen here if it explodes. A car can also explode as can a lawnmower. But they certainly won't do the same kind of damage a large factory...

Not when you come here for construction updates and architectural discussions.

Oh so I guess I found the page for the 15 year olds?

Let me rephrase. It will sink or swim based on the quality of the exterior finish. Exposed concrete can look great or terrible.

You guys are picking on the wrong target. He does a great job of delivering what the client wants. If you hate the design then go after the developers. They are ones foisting these projects on the...

lol. At the pace we're growing, and presuming New York City stays at the current level, I estimate it will be at least 2113 before we pass you. I'll wait to gloat :)

The foundation/basement levels will impact the interior of the tower but they would have plenty of wiggle room on the exteriors.

New York was founded on making money and increasing density. This has been true through its entire history. Why should it be any different today?

Don't maintain it and it will revert back to wetlands in no time.

Central Park is public land. Penn Station wasn't so a very big distinction. And back in the early 60's saving Penn Station for the public good was not on the radar for private corporations. Different...

But cleaning a train station meant it was still a train station. Wasn't the point to add other uses such as office and the Gardens? And wasn't it easier and cheaper for them to start fresh rather...

Low hanging fruit don't you think? More in the early days when there's more to choose from.

Beautiful photos.

Crazy considering the article posted above indicating it needs a facelift. Perhaps they should open it first.

The US cannot do that so long as the mantra of taxes are too high/bad etc. continues. You do get what you pay for.

Is it actually open as a mall or is it sitting empty?

Another just wow shot!

^Just wow!
