Eh, I was there this past Sunday (Shake Shack!) and don't think this building detracts from either Metlife or Flatiron.
Remember there's that black box next to Credit Suisse already that's been there for decades.
This is a pretty skinny building with light glass, and Metlife and Flatiron were never really in the same vista to the observer on the ground anyway. I don't think the city should approve or disapprove buildings because of how it will look to somebody walking over the Brooklyn Bridge...
