Taken today. Looks like it’s jumped 3 floors since the photos @streetscaper posted.
This is a very slow rising tower(s).
It does remind me of a shipping container too, but still looks great, and the glass is really sharp too. Overall the cladding is even better than expected.

Finally, some high quality stuff for LIC
The shape sucks, but the materials are beautiful.
This is shaping up to be a real cool looking building IMO. Personally, I love the wood grain cladding, it reminds me of THE NEW SCHOOL’s building on 5th ave which I think is awesome. Once the Tishman Speyer high rises across the street, I think we’ll see some street life soon.
Amazing how this area is changing - look at it in 2007 on Street View:
As more cladding has gone up, this is growing on me. At least it’s not another all blue glass structure.

Cool perspective, took me a bit.
