Development Watch: 805 5th Avenue
This Scarano-esque six-story new building at 805 5th Avenue will have nice views of the Green-Wood Cemetery when (if) it’s completed. (It was stalled out over the summer but work resumed last fall.) The 12-unit building is unlikely to win any awards for contextual design though. GMAP P*Shark
I’ll take a house with a great personality before this frak.
Want context… Here it is.

We aren’t being snarky, we are pointing out that we don’t think much of the context. Really, if every development were “contextual” there would be no change at all. But of course there is not truth in this, only opinion.
“For example I describe my house as being warm and funny and having a great personality.”
Ha, that cracked me up.
I don’t mind this building too much. Actually like the grey.
“Let’s just play off the contextual point of this point, which this POS is not.”
I meant “point of this post”
Thanks for “pointing” that out…again, snarkily.
Do you get an orange jump suit upon sale completion ? Assume design based on sing sing.
I’ve sen worse, and in the same general area (certainly on 4th Avenue). I don’t think it’s so bad.
Ironically, it looks like a gravestone on its side. There’s your context.
In this area, contextual is the only point you have besides the one on your head. I agree if it were vinyl sided and sagging, you wouldn’t even have that. What is the point?
