Imagine a huge video display (along the blank wall) all the way to the top !!

Update 6/26/2012 - Looks like they're adding at least one more floor. Could this be the top one?

Ever since I was a kid, I've loved Times Square.

Just waking up Saturday Mornings and head down there from Brooklyn, when I would stay with my Auntie in the summertime. - Even when I was last downthere I just woke up, on my first night down, dreaming about heading down there.

I remember Times Square from back in the early 80's when I was just a little kid, was kinda dirty back then.

Horrendous decision there to leave the eye-sore wall even if painted. Such practices should be outlawed in planning. At least panel it over with something. This is a black eye on times square. It needs a long LED sign or something, but that would disturb the guests I'm sure.

^^ It will have paneling on the side. Probably stone or something of the like.

Also notice the building to the right where the window washing platform slipped 45 degrees Tuesday (7/11/2012) with 2 workers on board resulting in a tricky FDNY rescue. I didn't know about it yet when I was shooting this video. See: NY Daily News Story: Firefighters rescue 2 window washers from stuck scaffolding

Some shots from Friday, July 27. These will be the last pictures from me from this vantage point on the 25th floor of the Paramount Building at 1501 Broadway. Sadly, we are moving out of our offices this weekend.

^^^ moving out? that sucks, where to?

ThatOneGuy · #**193** Posted: **Jul 28, 2012, 9:21 PM**

Looks like it has reached it's final height.

Actually, not sure yet, but it's likely not going to be midtown. They were looking at something down in SoHo on Varick St. but nothing's final yet. In the meantime, I'll be working at home til we get it figured it out. It was a good run while it lasted. Never in a million years did I expect to battle the crowds of Times Square on a daily basis.

The should put an LED screen/Digital sign on the side.

scalziand · #**196** Posted: **Jul 30, 2012, 1:20 AM**

Looks like it's topped out- the top section looks like it only has 3-4 floors.

Danielson27 · #**197** Posted: **Jul 30, 2012, 1:56 AM**

how tall is this building? is it 550ft? or 600ft?

These truly are the last photos from this vantage point from me. We moved out of our office last weekend but I got to return today for a few minutes so took advantage of the time there. It's unlikely that I'll be back.
