Blogger Transfer notes that the only difference between this recently constructed monstrosity on Sullivan Street and the crap being put up by United Homes in poor urban neighborhoods is that the developer in Soho sprang for some grills to cover up the in-the-wall AC units. This does look eerily similar to the types of things springing up around Brooklyn. Wonder who the architect was?

  1. For the right price I’d definitely move into that building. That’s a great block. Who cares if the front is completely nondescript? When you’re inside your condo giving a rub down to a Soho model, the last thing on your mind would be the building’s facade.

  2. I don’t have much taste either, but someone was smoking the magic Zong when they were designing the facade on that building.

    I recently walked by a new cheap construction cinderblock apartment building going up in the East Village that actually looked pretty good. They’re laying a coat of regular bricks on the front and adding simple brownstone-like lintels above the windows. It’s too bad more builders don’t go that route if they want to save money.
