Lame and lame proposals are the norm here. Thank you Related. With those tax breaks, you'd think better architecture would be a top priority here, but what was I thinking...
I wouldn't worry too much. Even if the Hudson Yards is more a less a plateau right now (several 1,200 footers, 1,100 footers and 1,000 footers), it's only natural that a megatall will come next. Question is how long we have to wait. My pick: 2017/18.
