Fricking ugly. Will be the second ugliest building in NYC if built. Second to 740 Eighth Ave.

The crown looks genuinely pleasant, and I honestly like the cantilever for how insane it is!

If an ugly stick kept hitting itself in the face, it would look like this.

A good question in the YIMBY cover story: By Andrew A.  
I don’t know the answer either - odd numbered buildings are always on the NORTH side of the street.

**Quote from YIMBY feature article on this project -**  
“_The photographs show it to be clearly on the south side of 39th Street, yet it has an odd-numbered address. This doesn’t compute. What’s the story?_” end quote.

I also don’t know if this is the ‘famous’ Andrew A… either way, good question.

It’s 58 West 39th Street.

It’s not 57 West 39th Street.

YIMBY is a very sloppy website that doesn’t have any fact-checking.

To the extent the website identified this as 57 and not 58 West 39th Street, then it’s just regular YIMBY sloppiness.

Nothing more to it than that.

This is 58 West 39th Street, not 57.

This has about 8 floors left till top-out (including the crown/bulkhead).
