Ew, that massing gave me acid reflux ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/yimby/original/3X/3/2/3268792a7fd36ce71a418302c3d82a1d15de7974.gif) I hope the actual design is better. This will be quite visible from the yards ---

West 42nd isnā€™t exactly the most visually appealing place on the island. Even if this is a glass box it will be decent for the neighborhood. ---

This part deserves something better IMO. The whole area is getting revitalised, it would be a shame to get another glass box like 515 west 36th. Just a block down there are 2 great lowrise projects getting built. It would make a massive difference imo if this is something else than a glass box. šŸ˜• ---
