This is being developed by Billy Macklowe, not Harry Macklowe. They're related but estranged from one another.

And Selldorf's buildings are always understated with really nice textures and materials. I'm sure this will turn out fine.

Been T/O for at least a few months now. I'm assuming they're doing mostly interior work before installing the cladding.

Façade Installation Begins For 21 East 12th Street, Greenwich Village, Manhattan

Four months after the structure topped out, we have an update on construction progress at 21 East 12th Street, in Greenwich Village. Installation of the façade is underway, and has now reached the fifth floor.

The 309-foot tall structure yields 108,000 square feet of residential space, as well as 13,000 square feet of retail, and a 1,050 square foot community facility space. 52 condominiums will be created, starting at $2.5 million for one-bedroom units, $4 million for two-bedrooms, and $6.2 million for three bedrooms.

Annabelle Selldorf is responsible for the design, which features a white stone, gridded structure that hopes to mesh with the surrounding neighborhood. The project will be enriched with plenty of amenities, including a lounge, terrace, outdoor gas grill, children’s playroom, and a fitness center.

Just... Why?

[Submariner]

What the fuck were they fucking thinking with that hood ass bare wall exposed?

[sbarn]

So bad. This looks like Gene Kaufman, not Selldorf.

[pico44]

Maybe Selldorf grew tired of being called a good architect

Tear this thing down and start over

I hate literally everything about this building.

Have you seen this building in person? This is like 1000x the quality of a Kaufman. Those are stone panels.

I would love to live in this building, BTW. Perfect location.

[Busy Bee]

It's hard to get your head around why any of the things we are seeing in this building would be decisions made at the hands of such a gifted architect. Sad!

[WhatTheHeck5205]

This really is horrifying. Why the city allows new construction to destroy the street wall like this is beyond me.

[vandelay]

I blame the developer. The rotten apple didn't fall far from the tree.

I do too, though Selldorfs consent boggles my mind.


The Macklowes are tasteless heathen scumbags.

bowlmor is going back in the basement.

right?

RIGHT?

[artspook]

this cold insensitive square piece of shit airport building
should not have been allowed to be built in Greenwich Village . .
Less than Zero character. The Village is Manhattan's little cozy old town . .
It's not that 110 University is too big necessarily . .
It's the shape, the attitude . . its like pissin' on your grandma's grave . .
you just dont do it . . Tear it down . .

^ You know who else is to blame?

The city and its zoning code. As bad as the design is, it meets all the zoning requirements. Just like all the McSams and Kaufman hotels are eyesore, streetwall killers that are allowed by zoning, so is this one unfortunately.

If you don’t want ugly standouts like this, fix the zoning.

[JMKeynes]

The facade is gorgeous.

[antinimby]

Oh and another thing. NIMBYs are also to blame for this too.

Because of their constant fight to keep density low, the FAR for a site in this area is not enough to where if you as the developer were to make the streetwall higher, you wouldn’t have enough buildable space left to build a taller tower, where higher units sell better.
