I never expected anything more. This is a new risky area and they are going to be, i expect, more conservative moving into a new frontier. The railyards also require expensive platform. Think about how that impacts the design budget.

All in all, I'll be happy if the materials are good and that it isn't just a simple box.
i know what your saying and i agree with you 100% but as a big fan of progressive architecture i would have just liked to have seen something a little more "out there" for Manhattan's next new neighborhood. Something more like SOM's proposal would have been nice and even though related always showed boxes in their renderings i always thought that they'd give us sleek designs in the end. guess im too optimistic.
