Joe spotted this great shot of the ongoing construction of Bernard Tschumi's Blue Tower on Norfolk Street-- looks like the blue paneling has almost reached the point where the building starts to cantilever out at an odd angle. Compare to this shot from last month. [Related: Curbed's Blue Archives. And good news-- if you've got $1-2 million dollars, a couple of two-bedrooms in the building are still available!]

ohmygod that is so ugly.
Great photo but, IMO, Scary looking construction...
The blue panels look ultracheap in person, too--like a 1962 suburban junior high. Known in the nabe as the Giant Blue Turd.
that is gonna be one ugly looking building....
all we need now is a friggin' huge blue bowling ball to knock down that overgrown yuppie dome. say goodbye to that GEM shop and say hello to crate and barrel...LES is being assimilated, what a shame.
With all of the choices in real estate these days you would have to be brain damaged to pay $2 million to live in that building. Are the condos huge? Any sweet amenities?
Saw it last night- a total turd. The thing is going to look nothing like the rendering, which is not a huge surprise. All the non-fritted glass is just plain clear (at least at night). So you are going to have these bands of "junior high" blue criss-crossing the building. Architectural renderers tends to ignore littlle things like people turning on thier lights. One ammenity- looks like pretty high floor to floor heights.
you people have no taste. this building will be awesome. Would you rather another avalon christie place?
FUGLY
I think a more correct name for this building would be the "Tron" building. At first I thought they were making an airport tower. And when you go to their website, i noticed that they only show the yuppie upscale business that are in the les.
Avalon (north of Houston) and Blue should have a battle on who can get uglier faster. Two ugliest buildings in New York. The developers should be ashamed of themselves.
i am better than you-- we do have taste. apparently, you lack taste, and vision too, since all you can come up with as an alternative is Avalon-Christie.
Mike, don't feel bad just because you bought an apartment there. I'm sure it will all work out for you.
Nasty.
