There Goes The Neighborhood



Working near 3rd and Bryant Streets for the last six months, I've been confronted daily by One Rincon Hill, a new 62-story luxury condo complex that is grotesquely overscaled for its location.



Looking up at the building on Friday morning, there was a noticeable flaw on its gleaming exterior, and I couldn't quite believe what I was seeing. Was that plywood over the windows in the middle right?



It certainly seems to be plywood. I wonder what's going to happen to all that lovely glass in the next earthquake.

  1. One of my last trips to New York some streets were closed near Columbus Circle because panes were popping out of the Gulf & Western Bldg. I think it's part of the deal.
