Can see it via Times Square.
If your looking towards Herald Square in the distance or center left of screenshot.
This area has so much potential. Looking forward to the future.
I agree. There are tons of beautiful old buildings.
They’re slowly making progress on the facade. The lower floors have the larger green-tinted glass while the main tower has a darker clear glass and the random colored panels. I didn’t notice the colored panels in the original rendering but if you examine it closer they’re there. One strange detail is in the bottom right of the photo they painted the concrete with horizontal stripes.
Very nice!
I had another photo from far away but my phone died as I was taking it. When I go back, I’ll get more photos.
I noticed more steel for the big retail portion to this project. Easy to forget the plan is for 100K sf of retail.
Seems like early 2000’s retail thinking to me, but if the trend of South Herald Square going more upscale/tourist-friendly continues it could work out. Sorry for the crappy rushed shot.
