This has taken the position of basically being the more muted Queens version of 9 Dekalb. Not as big an impact on the local skyline, but it reclaims another landmark for future generations.
What’s the height regulations like in Queens due to LaGuardia? Can they even build a supertall?
Crown is fully lit tonight. I noticed they adjusted the white to be more warm than what they were testing previously.
I saw green lighting the other night so this crown can change colors, although I’m sure it will stick with the warm white most of the time.
This is a cell pic so the white doesn’t look as warm (esp compared to the 7 train station lights) but it’s a marked difference in person.
