I love this building, looks great, super trippy, and looks different from everywhere you view it.

I don't like how it fits into the neighborhood. Can't believe the city agreed to that. Oh wait. yes I can.

 

[innsertnamehere]

city didn't agree. The OMB did.

When seen in person it doesn't look as out of context as it does in many photos. It's big, yeah, but not necessarily overbearing.

This reminds me of the material used on the TIFF building.

The units directly beneath that huge carbuncle on the top, south exposure are going to be ridiculously dark a lot of the time.

 

[NBGtect]

Uh, no. When one faces south there is a lot of light, even if it's not direct light. If this was facing north this way, then yes it may be darker but not even ridiculously so.

Was referring to the large shadow being cast, regardless of exposure, by the extruding units above.

 

[NBGtect]

Yes, I understand. I just didn't think that they were sticking out so far to cut off all light and the unit to become ridiculously dark a lot of the time. By facing south there is generally a lot of light, either direct or indirect. The sun will come right into the unit in the winter for sure and in the summer the sun will be directly overhead. But still lots of light. If it was a unit facing another building in a narrow alley as is often the case in NYC, then yes it would be ridiculously dark a lot of the time. I just don't see it here with this exposure and with the condo units directly above and no building immediately in front that's all.

p.s. We do not own this unit although a Freed building would have been better than our Urban Capital one, in retrospect.

^ Enough about Urban Capital already, especially in a thread about a Freed building. We've heard you more than enough.

 

[NBGtect]

Fair enough. We won't contribute anymore. As long as the word is out there about these types of crappy developers then mission accomplished. Thanks a lot for allowing us to tell the truth Best

 

[Edward Skira]

You can contribute, just enough about Urban Capital all the time.
