Vinoly huh?? Hope it will be something interesting. Nice height at 580’. This area of NoMad will be creeping up height wise with this, 15 East 30th, the Bancroft, and Vinoly’s other tower that will be rising at 281 Fifth. ---

I agree, VG. The next eyesore that I hope will go is 1158-1160 B’Way. I suspect its time is limited. ---
