The new facade on Park Ave is now visible behind the scaffolding, and although it isn’t a new building like I imagine most people would have wanted, this podium reclad will definitely brighten up the area as all the buildings leading from The Helmsley are dark. ![DSC00597](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/yimby/original/3X/b/a/ba0065bf84cf38db8d5679c5d1da8aae91aa6f2f.jpeg) ![DSC00598](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/yimby/original/3X/2/5/254b867690f183a1025ebbbb3a18c51996b6263f.jpeg) ---

Waiting for the scaffolding to come down, I think this is supposed to be lit up at night (or atleast I feel like I remember seeing a render here that showed that) so it will be a nice addition to Park Ave. ![DSC01294](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/yimby/original/3X/d/7/d77f3f9b96f0c5bf1c2fba30ec70139f400188bc.jpeg) ![DSC01295](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/yimby/original/3X/a/c/acf2fa1343de82ebadd5778da9176033bc9c89c3.jpeg) ---

Those juliet balconies or whatever they are look like a close-up of old fiberglass. Not feeling that. And probably won’t age well. ---

Looks good on an Eames chair. Not so much magnified on a building.
