I don’t know why these NY developers like Extell, Related and others, that bring in big name starchitects at first but then either value engineer and waterdown their designs (smooth out the wrinkles, straightening out the curves, removing cross bracings, etc.) essentially back to plain boxes. Central Park tower, 35 HY, Girasole, 3 WTC come to mind.
If you are going to do that, then just use SLCE or Handels from the start and save us the big initial excitement and then the eventual letdown.
