It seems, Staten Island, my work here is done. *bow*
This is brilliant. I'm floored, I can't explain how happy this makes me. My hometown, my home-borough, no longer forgotten...at the very least, less forgotten.
I love the path-lines from Richmond Terrace to the waterfront...this outlet mall looks like a more grounded version of the Seaport. What's more, the wheel itself does not look as out of scale as I thought it might. The form is so airy that it doesn't oppress. Well done, all involved, well done.
Now let's hope this becomes a reality and my joy isn't in vain. In any case, the development potential here has been made very public...and if not this, some other landmark development will reach Staten Island soon after. However, I think this is too cool to not happen, simply put.
*fingers crossed*
