“I really like this building. Its as traditional as and Robert Stern project without being historicist. Very modern, elegant and forward looking. A good model for how to build tall residential towers.”
End Quote.

I wonder if that is the famous Andrew Alpern who I have seen post here before…

BTW - Maybe it was Andrew Dolkart - I have read the both extensively, but still get them confused. :thinking:

Both Great books -

I’d really like to see Mamdani work with Hochul to give city planners extensive eminent domain powers to tear down relative junk like the tenements around the base of this tower.

It would be pretty neat to close the book on the ‘Cantilever Era’ and I’m sure developers would love it.
