Paramount hotel is trying to ignore its tacky new neighbor.
when are they gonna install the crane(s)?
I’ve lost track of the number of times I’ve said this in 2025 but…wow, it’s really happening.

This is definitely reminiscent of one of those exuberant proposals that gets stalled and sunk by an economic downturn.

im surprised to see a crawler crane up in this day and age in that part of midtown.
kind of a thing of the past, even though it will set up the tower crane to come.

My quick take on this project is NO WAY will the top of the building look anything like this rendering. I may be wrong; but if I am right - it will be nice when we finally see an accurate depiction of the final design.

Could very easily be a guitar fretboard.

Oh wow. I didn’t realize this was already above street level.
I think it would be interesting if they would integrate a modern take of 19th century style brick along the low-rise portion on 8th. Would make for great individual store fronts instead of just glass and metal panels.
e.g.
Would definitely show those 3 other buildings(hold outs) how its done.

I haven’t been around as much the last few months and was disappointed to see this one is actually happening. It’s absolutely hideous.
