5 beekman is ok if you ignore the crown(s) and giant blank wall, you know the bad parts. The glassy portion facing city hall is quite ok. No part of this schismatic schizo building is ok, this is an architectural abortion of the worst kind.
Believe me, I'm not defending it beyond stating that there is one angle where it isn't ABSOLUTE visual griefing. This building is just pure awfullness though, like diabetes without the HFCS.
We checked in at 29-26 Northern Boulevard last month, and noticed that the building was near top out, with the southern part of the building reaching the top floor. When we stopped by last week, we, we observed that the building has now officially topped out, as seen in the photo below.
The skyscraper, which stands at 45-stories is another massive mixed-used project, and will deliver in summer of 2018. Here are more details on the project from YIMBY:
Per the DOB filings, 29-26 Northern Boulevard will total 382,120 square feet. 13,579 square feet will be dedicated to ground-floor retail, while the remainder will be divided between 415 apartments. The building will stand 45 stories and 473 feet tall, making it one of the most prominent towers in the Court Square vicinity.
It dares to be different in a cityscape where there still seems to exist a strong suggestion, if not an outright demand, to conform to a kind of unwritten architectural norm.
It's on the right. Reminds me of Las Vegas with its design.
