in case you were wondering another reason why it’s taking so long for projects like 45 Broad to get off the ground or 125 Greenwich to finish…

The deal — which will see the 22-story, 1.1 million-square-foot office building transformed into a 1,300-unit residential tower — represents the largest ever transaction of its kind in the U.S., according to Real Capital Analytics data cited by Newmark. Closing at a time when big loans, especially construction loans, are hard to come by, it’s also one of the biggest debt deals to close this quarter.

I am very happy that the Bronx is getting something like this.

Do you mean the residential market? If so, it is quite the opposite.

So many good low rise designs that fly under the radar - I guess cus they are “low rise”… :face_with_monocle:

This is something special. There is so much more to architectural design than meets the eye; form & function - the ‘function’ matters. This building has a fine form, but the function is brilliant. Read up on the website for more info on this work of Capital A Architecture that functions like a machine for living.

Excerpt on the ‘function’ aspect -
The building has a high-performance envelope that is responsive to exterior elements and reduces energy consumption. In addition, the layouts of each home are designed with multiple orientations, high ceilings, and operable windows to allow for natural cross-ventilation, significantly reducing the need for air conditioning. The windows and doors are also insulated for thermal weather sealing for the winter months and strategically placed for maximizing daylight.
