Aside from the upper floor glass (which looks pretty good so far), none of the stuff we are seeing will be the final facade - it appears that all this stuff going up will eventually be covered with some other more normal looking facade (hopefully).

hopefully that isnt that flammable stuff they used in other parts of the world to cut costs.
Most places in the US use the same standard building/fire codes, but NYC has its own stricter set. And US building/fire codes in general are much stricter than the UK’s.
Pic by me. Taken today.

This is actually not that bad.
I’m shocked, this looked like such a hot mess a month ago and now it’s pretty slick

Quick snap from Queensboro Plaza. It looks nice. Wish they didn’t give it a haircut on the top. Looks like it was supposed to represent the split in the tracks between the 7 and N/W.

Looks better than I expected.
it was looking pretty bad up until the last moment. Now it’s alright.

Eh it’s been value engineered to Hell. The previous design for the top portion was more interesting.
