We can look forward to it becoming soot streaked.

It’s so plain which I guess is better than the typical McSam.

I wonder if it’s even possible to make a more generic, boring building.

Some good graffiti would help it a lot. This is truly the ultimate in mundane.

Looks like it’s 1945 all over again!
It actually is possible. This building is just a copy/paste of the Marriott ‘Towneplace’ on 28th street. They are both Kaufmans, are 173,000 square feet each, have the same window arrangement, same roof mechanicals, and likely share identical plumbing/elevator/wiring guts.
The ground floors of both buildings even have the same number of columns.
This one has a limestone skin at least; the other one has bare concrete sides, and the type of quote-un-quote “metal” facade on front and back that is just aluminum faced plastic trash.

This is the Walmart version of New York City Luxury!
Replacing a very nice prewar neoclassic loft.
