This is one of the few decent developments to emerge from our long real estate boom / NYU invasion nightmare. Ease up. At least it doesn't look like it was designed by a four year old mom's empty shoe boxes, like most of the recent dreck to clutter the village skyline.

Funny, it is reminiscent of that link. Except the font is way hipper than helvetica ever was. Which defeats its own purpose.

Like the building. Loathe the ad campaign. Despise the assholes it's directed at.

the whole thing looks intentionally "ironic" -- like it's making fun of the "edgy" 2cooper sign in the background and all that other instant "cool" stuff geared towards rich kids with the font, etc.
