I hope other LES towers rise faster than this. Come to think about it, your right, it has been a long time. Feels very very long. ---

Amazing how a few hundred thousand tons of concrete can create a gravity well for eye balls. Even if you don’t like the design its sheer mass means it dominates its neighborhood in a way we haven’t seen since 56 Leonard. ---

I have a confession to make: When I see this building standing like a Redwood in a field of shrubs, and right on the water, I really feel like a small seaplane or helicopter will hit this tower one foggy day. I certainly hope not, but I can’t shake that thought. ---
