NEW YORK | Hard Rock Hotel (159 W 48th St) | 442 FT | 35 FLOORS

Just in time for their bankruptcy.

maybe not if Comrade DeBlasio shills out taxpayer money to house the homeless here. Other than that I doubt tourism will continue to stagnate.

Digressing, I noticed YIMBY updated the article with a new rendering.

You can bet your bottom dollar that they’re going to install digital signage all up and down that western facade.

I really hope so, but did the renderings or the proposal publicly call for that?

At least it’s mid block tucked behind a larger building

Sometimes I just observe building designs, and my mind always thinks about how such bad designs get through. Like there’s no way the architect firm finalized this project and said “Yep, looks good!” What the hell is that top!
