Are you sure? There are some recent renders that just show 2 floors?

What I wouldn't give for 520 Fifth Avenue to be built here -- Judging by the renderings and progress so far, it's going to be an extremely attractive building. Honestly, I'd put it very high in the running for best looking supertall buildings in the U.S. from the last couple decades.

Although it's right at the same height as the Waterline, I do get a bit of a melancholy feeling each time a new supertall building goes up in NYC nearby (and creeping in on) the Empire State Building and Crysler Building....

Still not feeling the segmented blocky design. It makes it visually look shorter than it really is. Why would the designers want that?

It remains to be seen how it will ultimately turn out, but it's worth noting that the tile work here looks better (IMO) that these photos portray. So long as the remainder of this side doesn't end up like the Fairmont's empty sidewalks, this stretch of Red River could end up looking pretty nice.

I drove past the other day and was really impressed with the portion of the building that overhangs the creek. It's really going to mesh well with the Greenway when it's finished.
