Why are all the windows inset into the facade except the ground level one? You can already see the abuse that flashing is taking from the rain. Do we think this is installed correctly?

I created a topic for 16 Dupont St but I guess we’re just posting those in the Greenpoint Landing section. @Mackensen feel free to delete that.

So crazy NYC has a multitude of skylines larger than most US cities. Downtown Brooklyn I think has a larger skyline than DTLA (or will soon…as DTBK is building multiple towers currently meanwhile Downtown LA isn’t building anything).

What’s really crazy is that NYC is not anywhere near its potential. Citywide zoning from almost a century ago means most of NYC is nowhere close to what it could be.

With the amount of rezoning proposals we have seen so far (Midtown South, Jamaica, Bronx Metro North stations, etc) we are only adding more housing capacity. It’s also likely we will see even more skylines form since different neighborhoods within the burroughs and Westchester cities are building up.

That’s what irks me, and more frequently than I’d like. It kills me to know what the true potential is. Folks want to live here and its all self-imposed. Look to Jersey City as an example of what happens when that supply is built. If the city really made it a little easier to say set up shop here business wise and really ramped up that housing… the potential! Same with NJ in general and especially Long Island.
I mean we’ve done good with the present conditions but the POTENTIAL.
Not to go on a tangent or off topic but if we had say the housing mentality or building mentality of say a Tokyo, the city would easily be well over 10 million. And the metro or region? Much larger I’d wager.

Part of what is holding us back compared to Tokyo is they don’t view their public transit with such disdain like the government here does. We also engage in so much corruption (although that is getting better with design-build) that money is bled out so easily in contractors and ruins the public perception to want to invest in it. It’s a vicious cycle.
The amount of transit we build compared to other major international cities is a damn joke. How can we support and encourage building upwards without that proper infrastructure in place?

New York has so much potential. Brooklyn alone is neck and neck in population with Chicago and there’s still so much more development that can happen. If each Burroughs was its own city, 4 out of the 5 would be in the top 10 which is impressive. I travel to the Bronx often and the Harlem River waterfront looks ripe for construction.
I honestly think I could see NYC reach a population of 10 million in my lifetime but that requires massive housing, infrastructure, and transportation investments.
