Interesting that this could finally proceed. I just caught fenwick's previous post noting that the current concrete verticals will be clad in aluminum; that could make quite a difference in its appearance.
Should the title of this thread be changed to reflect that the building will remain at 33 stories instead of 36?
Man, that building is ugly when you look close as in that pic. I remember hearing maybe 10 years ago that it was sinking but had not heard anything further. Hope that isn't true.
Interesting that some of the windows on that end of the tower appear to be the original sliders but others have been swapped out for double-hungs.

Some of the windows were damaged during Juan and were replaced with more recent units which were a better fit.
I don't believe there are any sliders in the new configuration as they have swapped to fixed with with awning and terrace doors
yea they kicked it around enough, finally decided on punch windows as they cant afford curtain wall or window wall. everything is scaled back which is not a good sign. they wore out most contractors and material agents over the years bidding and feeding from their knowledge. good luck.
Honestly, I'm happy not to see Fenwick clad in glass. I think simply giving it a good power wash would do wonders for the tower portion of the building. The ground floor is terrible though, and I would love to see the focus of any renovations be on improving the areas around the base of the tower and the building's interface with the street/sidewalk.
