Construction watch: 799 Broadway

Here's the latest look at the southwest corner of Broadway and 11th Street where the 12-story zig-zagging office complex is getting its glassy façade...
According to a news release about the address: "799 Broadway will feature floor-to-ceiling glass, private terraces, and 15 foot high ceilings. This combination of highly desirable location and state-of-the-art design will appeal to New York’s most progressive and creative companies."

No. 799 was the former home of the historic St. Denis building, which opened as a hotel in 1853. Normandy Real Estate Partners bought the property for somewhere in the $100 million ballpark back in 2016... and tore it all down.

James Nazz shared this time-lapse video showing the demolition of the building...

    Fugly and completely out-of-context.

    There's a special place in hell for developers.

    This over development of Manhattan with real estate is beginning to make the city an unattractive place. We need more green spaces not buildings. With this pandemic and the wealthy leaving for the green areas near the city, upon returning when it is over, I'm sure these rich residents will realize how dirty and crowded the city can be.
