After some further thought, I think it’s alright. I don’t like that base, but the tower itself is a nice throwback.

I’ll categorize this as complete.

Hill West was the designer? Seems more like SOM’s work. I think they might have that mixed up. Hill West is known for being a prolific AoR.

I believe Goldstein Hill & West designed the original design, but was later changed via SOM. They probally didn’t edit it.

Love how this turned out, particularly the way mechanical portion was integrated into the design. Simple but extremely effective–much like the building itself. A welcome addition to the area.

Photos do not do this building justice: the stone facade color/texture/profiles are the finest I have seen. The basic overall form works perfectly, handsome simple solid form with a nice repetitive pattern on the punch windows. This building flew under the radar for me and it is one of my favorite ‘top ten’ residential towers. Never mind that I now seem to have about 25 buildings on my ‘top 10’ list…Hehe

Well said, @infoshare.

The facade is very reminiscent of one of Adjmi’s buildings. The 1960s style design makes sense by Lincoln Center. It’s hard to be critical when there’s so much junk in the area, but it’s between a fine Art Deco building and 15 CPW. A more traditional design would have been nice.

Under rated project here: this building is Architecture with a Capital A for sure. I think this facade is glazed terra cotta. The glazed clay/terra cotta panels look great. This building has not got to too much notice so I here give it a well deserved bump.
Time to see some interior photos now that occupancy is well under way…
