The balls on this developer though cannot be measured. If you think the outside looks like alice in wonderland check out the interior pics.
That being said, I wish they had built something less garish BUT at the same time I don't hate it the actual architecture. I'm pretty much pro-glazed brick so it's hard to dislike it too much for that reason alone. I think they may have been going for an allusion to Wash Heights culturally appropriate "latin island" colors but I don't think it fits in any way with the existing built environment that makes Upper Manhattan so beautiful. I think it would have been a better building in Times Square or Williamsburg or something where the avant garde would be more welcome.
