I have a Love / Hate relationship with this building (along with 2966 JFK Blvd). LOVE the design & aesthetics, especially those striking angular balconies; HATE that it blocked the view I had of Hudson Yards from my Apt.

Great pic! Sucks you lost the Hudson yards view. And you will also lose the rest of midtown as imperial tower rises.

'Twas fun while it lasted 
And to add insult to injury, if 1 JSQ Plaza (2565 JFK) gets built then I’ll loose my remaining views of North Jersey, the Hackensack River and American Dream

Good reason to ask the landlord for a discount next lease renewal

I truly do not know what to say about the facade of this building. Confusing, perplexing, uninspiring, over-the-top, nonsensical. The lines, the lines the lines, oh no!! THE LINES!!!. Sorry, I got carried away! LOL. Before the facade I thought it had a lot of potential and was looking forward to its completion. Not now.
The facade isn’t even fully installed yet so I don’t recommend being overly critical of the outward appearance just yet. From a quick observation of the photos, they’re putting what I assume is similar to tyvek waterproofing underneath of where the facade will actually be installed.
One of the renderings, for example, shows something completely different because it isn’t even finished yet.

Thanks, I guess I missed the rendering. It makes much more sense now, and, I’ll admit, I should know better than to judge before it is finished. The haphazardness of the vertical lines just thru me for a loop. Shit, I sound so old! Ha ha ha.
