It waxes, it wanes, will it ever be sold...and to who? The NYT raves a review of Mr. Shapiro's tower to excess... way too much, way too late...nice building... http://www.nytimes.com/2010/06/29/arts/design/29madison.html
>Even those who will never enjoy these luxuries, though, can still appreciate the building as a valuable addition to a prominent and historic site. And as part of a slow but steady rise in aesthetic standards, it at least feeds the fantasy that someday high-quality architecture will trickle down to the city’s shrinking middle classes.
Are you kidding me? Middle class? I think the average price of an apt sold in One Mad was north of $4million. And the writer is just a tad cold dancing on the financial graves of the people who invested in this apt building. They are living in a lemon and they have to pray every day that they will get at least 50% of their purchase price back.
But most of all, that is one fugly building.
