Yes, yes i know. In the same right the square office towers that we all love on Park avenue are stellar.
This tower is sub par to whats being built at the Hudson Yards so in the context of its surrounding development
its nothing extraordinary. This also isn't BIG's most innovative work so in some regard this tower does leave a lot to be desired.
In terms of good design the mock-up and height of the tower portrayed previously for the site was more exciting
so you can't expect people to be jumping for joy over this. It is a matter of opinion and if this was built on Lexington or Madison ave.
perhaps people would be more eager to want to see this design rise but like I said given its location we just expected better. I don't think you'll disagree.
