Union jobs don't have a better safety record. Union vs. non-union has nothing to do with relative safety.

Moinian is one of the biggest developers in NYC, and Starwood is probably the most powerful hotel conglomerate on earth.

Why would it be surprising that they're working together, especially on a prime Midtown site?

The union rat looks like it's holding up the putzmeister pump in that picture.

Update from a few days ago:

http://www.newyorkyimby.com/2012/07/...west-54th.html



It's roughly 15 stories I would guess? The worst part is definitely the street-wall, as the building is/will be short enough to be blocked by its neighbors...

I'm not judging this building until it reaches a better height and I see cladding.

Curious to see the cladding on this one. I think overall this tower will be pretty forgettable... but may be a good balance of brick on a pretty glassy block.

Latest photos from the site. It's roughly 15 stories or so?

237 West 54th Street August 2012 Construction Update

Great to see ANOTHER blank wall replace the one this covered up on 1715 Broadway... lol

Looks like the setback finally started. I wonder when the cladding will start?
