I walked past this tower yesterday, and I think the cladding is spectacular. Although you could argue that the tower has a boring "box" shape, I think that it suits the vertical louvers that have been incorporated into the curtain wall. This will be a great addition for the neighborhood. Too bad it isn't a bit taller...

Looking very corporate.

Woot! This should be topped out in a month or two. Steel keeps rising at a phenomenal pace.

Great updates! Looks like this has about ten more floors to go. Can't wait to see this full cladded, it's going to look great.

I'm really digging the glass on this one... this whole tower has an intriguing neo-modernist aesthetic (just made that up, ha).

Can't say enough positive things about this building, and especially the cladding - looking fantastic!

THE BIG APPLE · #**229** Posted **Mar 30, 2012, 2:02 AM**

I really doubted the cladding, but now it's growing on me.

Awesome update, looks like another 8-10 floors and this'll top out!

A couple shots of the project from the corner of 53rd & 8th on a bright spring day (4/7/12). The twin cranes are impressive.

Interesting building

babybackribs2314 · #**235** Posted **Apr 12, 2012, 7:59 PM**

The cladding is awful. It looks/reflects brilliantly in full sun, but it's completely dead/dull otherwise. This picture shows what I'm talking about best.
