Well, at least we're getting
something. No...
more than just something. For starters, we're getting something of decidedly more-than-modest height that Mrs. What's-her-name could
very well have bitched down to the ground and out of existence...and just because she could've chosen to exercise said authority at full-throttle given her druthers.
We're getting something whose placement in the MidTown cityscape will create absolutely
astounding contrasts with many of Apple's most venerable highrises...G.E./RCA for one that I can cite.
*And* it's taller than One57, too. Speaking of which.....
We're getting something that's just as bold if not more so in design...IMO in a "fresh out of Gotham City a la the Dark Knight" sort of way.
Other than this looming fiscal cliff-diving spree that menacingly threatens every single sector of our economy, the only thing that remains unsure vis a vis this beauty rising is the status of her tenancy....and yes, I said "her"...nyeaaaah.
But seriously...It most likely will be easier to land a tenant for this place, as it's only one building. It seems to me that the ones on the indefinite waiting list are, in the majority, part of a larger complex, i.e. 200G, Hudson Yards North etc.
