It would be great if that idiotic screen is eliminated.

I’m keeping my fingers crossed. This would be a very welcome instance of value engineering.

I can not believe that I am seeing this tower for the first time; need to visit YIMBY more often - I am late to the party on seeing this lovely tower. The fact that this building has plenty of masonry, and good proportions is one reason to like the look; but I mostly like the affect of the wrap-around terraces - they add a visual softness/texture to the overall appearance of the building. I like the basket weave facade at the base too: a very artful and intricate look to meet the viewers eye at street level. This is well done: in terms of the aesthetics, I would definitely say this a ‘good design’ . In terms of the functional aspects of the structure; I can only assume that was well done too…

Do you think that they’re foregoing that heinous screen? I really hope so.

great building, and a great way to do balconies (which are an asset in my book)

With the sidewalk shed already gone and the streets finished up I’d assume work is completed on this building — they wouldn’t pack up the job site and then set up again

Praise the Lord!
Given the trend for stores to shrink their footprint and capitalize on real estate, I’d like to see a Bloomingdales raze the Eastern portion of the building. It’s an eyesore.

It will be purchased by WeWork, no doubt about it.

Pics by me. Taken today.
I’ll move this to complete. I spotted some occupancy. Surprisingly, the glass is damn transparent from my angle (like you actually see people inside living their lives, so probally not wise to walk around nude). I wonder who has the pent house, which looks like two levels, as it has a spiral staircase on the outside. Very nice!!!

Did they, in fact, refrain from adding that horrible basket weave facade from the ground floor?

Thanks for the update even though it’s bad news about this absurd screen.

Unique views there Chris! Those upper floors look nice too.
I still can’t see the street level basket weave screen from your second shot though and I walked past a couple weeks ago and it was all glass. I think they abandoned that basket weave thing.
