âMen are working with fevers! Men are working sick!â You wouldnât know that unless you were on site. Not observing the building from a block or many blocks away. This virus is turning people insane

It more that crisis situations like the one we living through bring out a person true nature. People using this virus to be racist or to push whatever belief they have.

270 park does sit directly on top of Grand Centrals train yard so it probably means that it technically counts as âinfrastructureâ.

I briefly talked to the architect of 277 Park Avenue on Twitter, he confirmed a suspicion of mine- that the building was designed to be a neighbor to 270 across the street. He was like âBut donât tell the clientâ. Looks like 277 is getting some serious upgrades now.

I really hope that this is the final design for 270 Park. It looks great.
