That building on the corner with the blank wall facing the street is a travesty. At least this building will help to energize that side of the block.

If this building was a robot it would be called blandbot.

Spooky873 · #46 Posted **Mar 15, 2006, 11:35 PM**

it is clearly visible on the right:

i wonder how many floors to go, although this is pure filler.

What exciting music! The techno underscoring has given me a new love for the tower.

NY sure is getting a lot of blue glass buildings. Not that that's a bad thing. Most of them are turning out quite nice. This one looks just as promising.

Lecom · #51 Posted **Apr 25, 2006, 9:34 PM**

Exceptionally fast construction

Spooky873 · #52 Posted **Apr 25, 2006, 10:11 PM**

is it topped out?

CarlosV · #53 Posted **Apr 25, 2006, 10:20 PM**

^ nope!

JACKinBeantown · #54 Posted **Apr 26, 2006, 4:00 AM**

Maybe 8-10 floors to go.

Looking super boring.

JACKinBeantown · #56 Posted **Apr 27, 2006, 4:00 AM**

It is very boring, but there's one element of it that I like. It's skinny. For several decades blocky glass buildings went up and took up entire blocks. There seems to be a trend in NYC of skinny buildings again. There's so little space left that they have to go high on a small footprint. That's something I like about this building and many others.

I spoke to a guy on the building site. This building will top out by the first week of June. The building will be completed and ready for occupants in 3 stages in Jan, Feb, and March from bottom to top.

I dont find the building to be boring, but rather smooth, refined, no gimmics. No boxy base with a Duane Reede or some other god aweful retail. No balconies that look like drawers of a dresser left out, filled with dead plants, ski equipments and old bikes. The multi colored glass cube at the entrance not so different from the glass cube about to open at the new Apple store should be interesting. This building really has 3 seperate squares or "boxes" all connected together. Not sure if it was called The Link for that reason or because it is considered the Link to Clinton or the first building or Link to building in the protected Clinton District. Sales here have been brisk according to the sales office and they are up over 80%. Its only 7 short blocks to Central Park which is nice.

With 3 other new glass buildings going up on 46th, 47th, and 48th, this area is changing quickly.

You call it corn, we call it Hell's Kitchen.

Yeah it should be called Hell's Kitchen. I guess I slipped with the Clinton because they call it the "Clinton District" or whatever. Anything but Midtown West.

Filler.
