It sure looks better than what it was before!!

Hello, I am new to this site...I think everything you guys talk about is really cool. It is my kind of site.

I am in Philadelphia. But I am about to move to Manhattan in early December hopefully. My family search for a new home (especially in the Upper West Side) and we found 240 Riverside Boulevard as our home. It is a great and beautiful building. (The best one so far in these whole development. Although 240 Riverside looks very promising. The other ones could it have use a better touch. But that's what is great about NY! Not everything is perfect.)

The inside of the building took my breath away. I will tell you we had a little trouble at first coming to this building because of the Trump name. But he sure created alot of great details for his residents. The apartment is wonderful! We are in the 19th floor and have big windows with views in 3 directions. The river (west), north and east. I hope they bury the highway but the broker said not to count on it.

I hope they fill the place with retail. Nothing yet. (A nice supermarket (Whole Foods), drug store (CVS), video store (Blockbusters) will be great!)

Hopefully I am going to be working on 424 W 33th. between 9th and 10th. An old building just redone with beautifull offices inside. Just behid the post office. A very deserted area that needs a big development to happen. Anyone looking for new office space out there with super fair rates this is the place so far.

The cool thing about this is that I can ride my bike from home to work on the Hudson park bike trail on good days and take the subway on bad days.

I am defenetly waiting to have the New York experience again. (Just like I did in the late 80's back in Queens! Of course a different one.)

Trump knows how to make residents happy.
And on a grand scale too.
NY would probably be not quite the same without him.

I agree with you on that one Fabb. I think NY needs more developers like Trump.

After having a talk to the building's broker, he said that in NY, community leaders and other people get upset about any new construction projects (especially new and tall buildings.) But Trump sort of always manages to wins. Ofcourse with a set back. When he got the project, he was restricted by NY (because of the concern of the comunity leaders and other people in the area) on not building a too tall building in the area. So there were hight restrictions. Knowing trump, he would it build them tall. Also these types of buildings were favor by the so called community after long talks and other building ideas that he had in mind were lost. The community wanted buildings to blend in with what was on the area. He promised the community that they will blend in. (although I think he has change some of the sketches a little.)

So what he is building is what we get.

He's also NYC's best hope for creating a WTB - a true WTB sans spire.

[Freedom Tower]

That may be true Brooklyn Rider, but with each new rendering the Freedom Tower gets better and better. I hope it continues to only increase in size instead of decrease. If what I hear currently is true, the antenna will be at 2100 feet and roof at 1776 so it is well on its way to a real WTB. In fact, if this is all true, it will be a REAL WTB. Although the office space will end at around 900 or 1000 feet. But the designs are still not final.

I went by Trump Place a week ago or so. There's barely any space between the Heritage and the fire escapes of the Chatsworth next door. You could probably reach out of a window in one building and shake hands with an occupant of the other.

120 Riverside Boulevard started site work last week. I have seen a rendering and it's a short 23 story building with a lot of fussy detail that makes it about as blah as the other buildings.

Congratulations on not being amongst the poor or middle class in New York City. It sounds wonderful!

[Gulcrapek]

120 doesn't look that bad. It looks like it takes after 240 more than the other buildings (especially the water tower), and incorporates some 220.

[emmeka]

Yes, i do see some 220 in that building.

I took these pictures on a rainy day. Hope you will enjoyed!
