It Came From 4th Ave!
Pictures can’t really do justice to the latest addition to 4th Avenue’s much-vaunted streetscape and retail scene. Cinder block-o-licious! GMAP

The box they are building (and obviously will be covered) is a mystery to me – I dont see why they just didnt run water and electric to it and rent it out as a small coffee/espresso bar – with the subway there it would do amazing in the morning.
That being said, I dont know what you people want in terms of architechture – the building is maybe 20ft wide – given the dimensions I think the building is attractive (not gorgeous obviously but an attractive mid-rise apt.
Yes it stands out a bit too much given its low neighbor but once a building goes up next to it, it will look rather nice IMHO.
Thanks Zinka!
oh yeah and i also dont even have the 100 dollars 10 percent down payment that id need for a 1000 dollar detroit house.

prodigal i was just kidding about moving to detroit. it’s like from the what white people like to say blog that says they all threaten to move to canada when politics arent in their favor. i wouldnt leave nyc because nyc is the easiest place for me to live.

I love modern architecture, don’t you? It’s all urban renewal all the time for me. Maybe we’ll be lucky and they will make this the model for model housing. Park Avenue is put to shame.
Thanks MARTY, This is the new Park Ave. Blow it out your ass. How does it feel to have shit shoved down your throat? Please drop the bomb on 4th Ave.
Rob,
Move to Detroit. You can buy a house for $1,000. Yep, thats right, $1,000.
Then try to find a job…
I actually like this building because it so reminds me of Los Angeles dingbat architecture – the ubiquitous, downmarket, two- or three-story apartment houses with overhangs sheltering street-front parking. There’s a good picture here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dingbat_(building)- actually has the same color scheme as the 4th Ave. building.
