This is now under construction next to the high line. The on site massing shows a cantilever on the west side which did not appear to be on the renderings in the article above.

The tree in the render strategically covers the falling apart auto body shop that still remains and is attached to that dirty parking garage.

This is real ‘natural’ stone cut from a quarry - Alabama Limestone. I see that the prefabricated stone slabs use on many new facades look quite similar: I will make a point to view this in person. I don’t know if one or the other actually looks better: but you can bet which one costs a lot more. I would like to think that a commitment to top quality building materials, fine workmanship in construction, and good architectural design all result in higher profitability in the final sales figures: probably not… :thinking:

Yes, and nicely set-in-place too. The methods, material and craftwork that goes into the facades (curtain walls) of these various buildings vary greatly: some cheap, flimsy and unattractive, while others are substantial, high quality and sublime. I do hope the quality, craftwork and beauty of a facades like this is not overlooked by the average passer-by on the street.

Interesting design detail mentioned in this article - “The chamfered window surrounds allow for better views to the west towards the High Line and Hudson River”.

This Architectural Design rates a ‘best’ on my good/better/best rating scale. I will make a trip to see this in-person when I am in the neighborhood. Which, fortunately, is tomorrow; maybe I will run into Frederik.

The building is a beauty.
