    So what if covering that concrete would be dishonest, it would make the building look better. If I'm an asshole, just because I'm honest about it doesn't mean that I should not change.

    I agree with LeCom wholeheartedly. This blankwall is hideous, and I don't give a damn if covering it up with glass would somehow be "dishonest". If we called any ornamentation or beauty added to a building that didn't also serve some structural purpose "dishonest", then we would have a truly boring City with none of the architectural treasures that we hold so dear.

    Not much's changed except for the crane having been completely taken down now.

    I've never seen a project that's gone this far into its construction without getting its facade on.

    Is Burj Dubai bare concrete. Maybe they will put an EFIS on it.

    Notice that the PH has on the north face an additional little balcony with what appears to be a doorway ...

    Along with what look to be a couple of additional north-facing windows ...

    And a killer couble height balcony facing west ...

    This one is going to look really scary once it gets its glass on ...

    Another Leyva building down in Chelsea is getting some glass -- and might give a hint how this one will look.

    Rendering after rendering shows the glass to be blue. There's no reason to believe that it won't be.
