It's nice that the curves of the mechanical penthouse follow the curves of the tower. That shows that the mechanical penthouse wasn't a total afterthought.

The construction elevator has been removed. Hopefully we get the sidewalk back soon ?

Never ever should a sidewalk be allowed to be removed for construction of any buildings. I can't wait for this sidewalk to return.

Bold, solid, and coherent vs. Ill defined, flimsy, and incoherent.........the twins on one block and the twinge on the next.

My only gripe is that it has a slightly blueish tint, especially when seen directly behind 411 Church, like in the first pic in the post with the pix above. I wish it was solidly white. Otherwise, it's a great building.

That's interesting--I see what you mean. But it wasn't my first impression of the buildings. The one on the s/e corner strikes me, at least at first glance, as bold and solid, too.

That Menkes building in the foreground is awful.

Less obvious but equally awful is the renovation of the TCHB building next to it. Large white spandrels on a vintage 60s/70s brick building just don’t work. At least it’s a pretty small building that’s kind of hidden by the new towers.

June 17, 2020 - In person, I’ve noticed a lot of dirty/mismatched/damaged balcony railings, which aren't apparent in photos. Hopefully, it’s just dirt that’ll get cleaned off and if there are mismatched/damaged panels, they’ll get replaced.

I know the tower actually has 4 corners but I'm going to start calling this "the vertical fidget spinner".
