the asymetricalness of the rear of it bothers me cause its pretty much the most visible side of it. It would be worse i guess. its still lacking something for me.

This building is turning out so much nicer than the renderings! It actually has a neo-art deco look.

What is taking so long?

It looks as if nothing much has changed in the past couple of months.

They're just putting the finishing touches on and in. It seems all these new towers in NY just freeze once they appear to be nearly completed.

OK. I think it is nice building. It fits well within the skyline.

Yeah, how is that possible? You missed the whole "blocking the Woolworth" debate...

Downtown tower readies to rent



May 3, 3:20 pm

The leasing office for one of the tallest ground-up rental buildings in the Financial District will open by May 19, the vice president of marketing for Glenwood Management Corp., Stephen Maschi, said today at Citi Habitats' second annual Elite Residential Rental Forum.

Barclay Tower, a 50-story-plus building at 10 Barclay Street, just west of Broadway, will have around 400 one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments.

The building will feature condominium-like amenities, including a fitness center, swimming pool, tenants' lounge, media center and children's playroom, Maschi said.

"New York is a rental city," Maschi noted. "Some people just don't want to buy."

Residents will be able to move into the tower by late summer; rental prices for its units have not yet been made public.

The retro pattern of the crown is very noticeable. It catches the attention away from the shaft.
