"with Queensbridge Projects only a block away I can't imagine they'll ever fill this building" Uh... Have you been paying any attention to a scrappy little test market called Manhattan? Lincoln Center, Harlem, Chelsea & other hoods have luxury buildings right next to the projects (even inside the projects, as in the new condos about to go up on that short stump of W. 63rd that's inside the projects west of Lincoln Center). Buying a condo with a view over the projects is one of the best ways to ensure you'll keep having that same view rather than losing it to new construction.

I guess I'm probably the only one who'll miss the low-rise waterfronts of the outer boroughs when they're all built-up with high-rises.

Behold, cost accounting architecture. It's looks like a ConEd substation. Could it look more brutal and uninspired.

Kevin: There are tons of new low-income properties put up all the time. They're just not newsworthy. And are hardly as exciting and attractive as the project above.

Heh, more ghettos for the rich. Will there ever be any new buildings for the low to middle class? Koch could do it, why can't we? www.forgotten-ny.com

Geez, can we build anything that looks good anymore? Or is it all architectural masturbation?
