so far 515 w18st looks like heatherwick is trolling us with a post war london apt building.

Egads, that thing is hideous.

^^^^ Both y'all trippin. This is a cool af tower. Looks like a remnant of old Europe, from an alternate cyber-punk reality.

man, development has really killed the High Line! who wants to walk through a claustrophobia-inducing canyon of overpriced, poorly designed (largely empty) condos--for that matter who on earth wants to live tourist-eyeball-level on that stretch anyway?
it was for a very brief time a pleasant elevated park, now it is just a consumerist feeder tube into the glass shithole of HY :yuck: |

yeah the majority of the day for sure. however, it is still nice early or late in the day during the week. also, i walked it home last night after work in between a little rain and had it to myself. |
^^ I wholeheartedly disagree. It is a diverse showcase of a unique cluster of architecture unlike anywhere else in the world. If you want shadowless park space, go to Sheep Meadow in Central Park or just about any other park in the USA. The High-Line is an incredibly unique experience, which just keeps getting better. Looking forward to my next visit there.

And, um, "who wants to walk there"? The problem with the High Line is it's too damn popular. You can't move. Not sure why you think the residences are "poorly designed", as they're almost all extreme high end and probably the largest concentration of starchitecture on the planet. They also aren't "largely empty" and sell at crazy prices, indicating plenty of people desire such residences. I'd live there in a second, but I can't afford it. And I'm pretty close to the 1%. Arguably the best K-12 private school in Manhattan is right there. |
^ and that school is quite a sight in and of itself. crazy limos, suvs, etc. and classic suited chauffeurs and nannies waiting out front at the end of the school day. and a block away a legion of opioid zombies staggering around. its really something else around there.

I never quite understand why people complain about the High Line, and the development around it. Do people really think that once torn down, the area was going to remain the same? Probably would have been rezoned for denser development. But such as it is, I think it's succeeded beyond anyone's expectations. I recently took a trip down Atlanta's Beltline, and on every side there is similar growth. Also, like the High Line, very crowded. That means people lije it, and want to be there. Same thing applies to the High Line. So whenever I hear or see those comments from people about it being an undesirable place/experience, my eyes roll back in my head a little. Does it get crowded? You bet. Does New York City get crowded? You betcha. |

maybe you heard taylor swift has a new album out?
ha. anyway, her instantly hot single cardigan, which btw is indeed a pop masterpiece if you have not heard it, alludes to the meatpacking district and name drops the high line. here it is w/lyrics: https://youtu.be/uAUnRw7Pswg ***** also, the 18th street plaza, the final development of the high line park itself i think, is underway below w18th street. 18TH ST. PLAZA Currently under design, the 18th St. Plaza will be located at street level, along 10th Ave. The 10,000 square foot site will feature a large, curving planting bed with low plantings and trees. A billboard anchors the site to the north and will be repurposed to display art, and a new stair and elevator to the High Line will be constructed with the plaza. more: https://www.thehighline.org/design/ ^ so it looks like the old elevated snack bar idea is out - lol! https://ny.eater.com/2008/6/25/67927...ated-snack-bar https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/Gtmm...highline.0.jpg |
