Fantastic prospective!!!

Wasn't too long ago people were questioning why this building was taking so long to rise. But as expected, it's shooting up and moving with great speed now.

And it looks very much like the renderings.

My new desktop background haha New York is just something else. City and city and city for miles haha gigantic metropolis lol nowhere else like it. Gigantic concrete jungle lol I grew up in Milwaukee Wisconsin and would visit Chicago every few years. Always thought Chicago was insanely huge. Then visited New York when i was 22 and went to the top of the Empire State Building and saw what is a much bigger city haha Chicago needs an outdoor observation deck though lol And Chicago is awesome, but its small compared to nyc

9 DeKalb visible in the skyline. Few more months, will be very noticeable from this angle. To the left of 11 Hoyt.

^Ho Lee —. That's all the verbiage I can muster at the moment. In fact, I can't even remember my name.

This looks laughably amazing. Goodness are we spoiled here in the Big Apple.

my only markdown is the visible seam between the terracotta and bronze/aluminum panels. That's fine on glass, but distracting on other elements. Other than that, fantastic.

Absolutely amazing. That facade is fantastic. Better than the renderings.

I love how dark the glass is.

njcco · #**1213** Posted **Nov 27, 2020, 12:38 AM**

This could be one of the best towers in the world, wow!

jbermingham123 · #**1214** Posted **Nov 27, 2020, 1:14 AM**

Love this tower, but the low-quality glass is a shame. This building deserves so much better

its a great design, but actually lets be thankful for jds for pulling the trigger and not value engineering it into mediocrity. that takes a lot of coin, pride and confidence.

JDS brought us this as well as Steinway, but they could have gone with any other firm, who could have pulled a nice design also. SHoP gives us a particular style which I am grateful for. I'm also grateful for the next addition JDS will bring to the skyline, whoever they choose to go with. And of course, for the many new skyscrapers that keep the skyline fresh.

What makes you think the glass is "low quality"?

low-quality glass is easy to spot. The reflections in high-quality glass are crisp and mirror-like, because it is perfectly flat. Reflections in low-quality glass are wavy, like a fun-house mirror, because it isn't perfectly flat. Once you know how to spot it, you cant unsee it.. perhaps this knowledge is a curse lol
