The Sunset Park Blog is digging the samey-same look of the neighborhood’s new condos, like the new one going up on 48th Street and 8th Avenue. The rendering for the building shows it’s going to look an awful lot like other recent-vintage condos that have dotted 7th Avenue (see, for example, the one on 50th Street, on jump). SPB writes:

It seems that the Chinese architects building new condos on 7th avenue prefer the art deco/bauhaus style of design…at least these buildings are not the drab soviet style buildings that one would find in old Beijing or North Korea or even the square drab buildings that they built in the 40′s and 50′s which are typical of many of the co ops one finds in Sunset Park and Bay Ridge.

Agree that this look is an improvement over some of the area’s older housing stock?
