Usually I'd say :yuck:, but it's the Times Square area, so who cares.

This should be moved to under construction. :)

This design is very "weak". This site deserved something better. =/

Three floors up (photos by me):

Damn that was quick

This is rising quickly. 120 W 42nd doesn't look bad either, though it's just short filler.

Good god, those silver mullions they added to the bottom floors are.... unfortunate.

Good lord, what is going on with this cladding?

I wouldn't mind so much if it's neighbors weren't so beautiful.

I can't stop laughing.

This poor city.

This thing is a travesty. I cringe to think what they are going to do at the base. Images of Las Vegas comes to mind. Wrong, Wrong, Wrong in so many ways.

Although it would be cool to have a NY Casino in the area. It will add even more light to the area.

Pic from today..

Building looks alright. Nothing great, but not too much of an eyesore.
