Would love to see more of these in Midtown (not just Billionaires Row).

520 Fifth Avenue and the late Stern residential towers are the blueprint for how to build in Gotham...

I wish I liked this tower - the off-color horizontal wraps and nearly arbitrary window scaling makes the design far too busy imho. It's a little too Ctrl-V for me...

Albeit JP Morgan Chase got it right with its amazing new headquarters, they going in the wrong direction recladding the stone of the old Bear Stearns building (383 Madison Ave) with only glass.

JP Morgan Chase, not Morgan Stanley. MS is still HQ in Times Square, though there are rumors they're looking for a new HQ tower.
