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.

Right?!
We can only hope -
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.

Thanks.
Now I wonder if we can find out if he is the real Andrew ALPERN… 
I have several of his books… 
Something really cool about that last shot, w/the slight dutch angle
