Mystery Lot replacement starting to show itself on East 13th Street
While standing on East 14th Street near Third Avenue... you can see the noticeable progress of the new eight-story, 83-unit luxury condo building.
Not so much on East 13th Street though... until now... As you can just make out a few things starting to rise above the plywood...
Meanwhile, for a time-lapse of sorts aerial view... courtesy of EVG reader Katja...
And, of course, how it will look one day on East 13th Street...

Seriously ugly. Where do they find the architects currently foisting the latest round of hideous buildings on us? Are they all "Scraping the Bottom of the Barrel" contest winners?
ReplyDeleteThank you Grievestrator AKA EV Arrow, I would've missed the rebar were it not for your fine presentation skills! Job well done!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like one of those buildings you'd see on Criminal Minds when they're pretending to be in NYC but you know it's Canada. Apologies to Canada.

ReplyDeleteA dead body was found here in 2004.
ReplyDeletewow. what a cold and lifeless facade.
ReplyDeletethis is supposed to be residential?
seriously?
it looks like a microchip lab. fiberoptics factory?
ugh.
For a perspective like that, there'd have to be no buildings on the south side of 13th Street and the photographer would have to be standing on 12th. 13th Street is NOT that wide lol.
ReplyDeleteHa! You have only to look at that gelid excrescence to see that nobody associated with it had anything whatsoever to do with perspective...
