I have a lot of respect and liking for this building. It pretty much set the foundation for the Times Square that most of us know today. As you can see in some of those above shots, even once it was completed, Times Square still wasn’t in the great shape that it is today. Times have certainly changed for that area for indeed the better.
The building itself has very distinct character; the antenna addition really solidified that. It adds a lot of flare to Times Square at base level with of course the NASDAQ drum and ESPN Zone. The tenant entrance of 42nd is also a very elegant touch (the awning is fantastic).
This is easily one of the best to come out of this decade (fully completed).
