I don't really share The Observer's feelings on this project, I think the design is pretty decent, albeit forgettable. My thoughts are that it fits in fine given the area and the building's height. Great filler adding to Midtown's mind blowing density.
Great!!!. It's great to see a once stalled project start construction above grade... Now if we get 56 leonard and 30 park place to do the same; hopefully we will see that in the not too distant future
^It's not quite that bad. The bottom 2-3 floors do extend to meet the streetwall. But you're right that it's pretty sad that this is going to expose so much of teh neighboring blank walls.
