Reply With QuoteI'm going to get some pics this week. I'll also update the hotel on lex and 48th which has been getting more glass.
Agreed, amigo.
Do you have a photo of the little green building?

Thanks, man!
There's hardly any retail on that stretch and the only fast food place I can remember is Quiznos.
There's a lot of scaffolding, empty storefronts, and 2 vacant lots. At least 4 projects have stalled, so when the next boom comes around things will probably "improve."
On the west side of 5th (and a little south of the POT that Leyva has designed for the east side of 5th), there are three or four contiguous little buildings on which terrible 1960's facade were tacked on, thereby destroying what was there. One of them was sold and razed. I hope that a developer buys the others and tears them down. They look like mierda.
^ Any building is better than no building.
I disagree.
I'd rather have an empty hole that the POT that Chang the Wang plans for the site across from Gehry's Beekman tower.

Myopic thinking as such should not be encouraged....
From 300 East 40th Street:
And during the day (morning):
From the renderings, it seems the crown will extend slightly outward over the footprint of the tower, getting wider as you go higher - should be interesting to watch how they build it.

If that is your view... I am entirely and completely envious/jealous.
Yep, 22nd floor - and I paid dearly to earn that envy!!If that is your view... I am entirely and completely envious/jealous.
Haha I bet.Yep, 22nd floor - and I paid dearly to earn that envy!!
Can anyone tell if the crown is composed of glass or stone?
