[De Minimis NY]

I just wish that they had designed something more interesting for this location.

The proposed plan is great filler, but it lacks the unique silhouette that this particular location deserves. Given where it will stand, permanently separated from the mass of lower Manhattan by the FDR, it should be designed as a stand-alone monument (something like 400 Park Ave South would be amazing) rather than yet another relatively rectangular form best-suited for a mid-block plot.

I don't think this proposal is terrible, but I think it's a real missed opportunity for one of the few locations in manhattan where you will be able to see a tower's entire form without much else in the way.
