An unexpected and unobtrusive gem. I like the base and the tower portions; its timeless

If this had been built on an empty lot or replaced some low rise junk, I would love it too.
But knowing what was torn down for this, it will always put a bad taste in my mouth

A good point. How quickly I forgot.
As nice as the historic facade was we have to take the good with the bad. 1 Vandy also replaced some 100-year-old buildings with very attractive detailing and 242 W53rd replaced the Roseland Ballroom.
Personally I’d like to see more landmarking, but on the condition that landmarked buildings may sell all of their building rights, not just their air rights. The additional revenue can help keep the old buildings from deteriorating while encouraging development in prime areas.

Hear hear.
However, I hope that some good will come out of this building by inspiring others just like it. That’s always my hope when a good one goes up.

I guess it pays to have God on your side, especially when you’re building in NYC.

That first shot is spectacular. First time in a long time since old/new has worked so well together.
Can anyone think of another glass/stone combo that works this well? I can’t.
