It looks like the new building on the site of the 1960 airplane crash at Sterling Place and Seventh Avenue is almost done. Unlike the new building across the street, this one is a contextual success (barring any last-minute flourishes!): Perfectly proportioned windows, unobtrusive brick choice, simple lintels. The two wild cards at this point are how they will finish the bay window sections and whether they choose to add a cornice. This building was designed by the Manhattan-based Danois Architects. Anyone know anything else they’ve done? On a prior thread, a reader mentioned that this building will be condos while the uglier one across the street is a rental. That true? GMAP
