I can't even believe this is what the developers and architects came up with. No awareness whatsoever of the significance and personality of St. Mark's and the surrounding neighborhood. So incredibly sad and nearsighted.

It's out of context but looks great especially from across the street. The Death Star is a mistake. It's best view is from the 4th Ave side at 5:00 in the winter. 8:00 in summer. The Adjami building is midtown trash. Stumpy wedding cakes are best left to catering halls. Actually the shorter version is better looking and more contextual. It's sad that there is no elected leadership standing up for the community. Bit I bet that ReZone Rivera is too busy puckering up to Mayor Bill to be bothered. ONE PARTY RULE.
