A reader commenting on the new Vanderbilt Development we posted on Wednesday pointed us in the direction of this horror show on Hicks between Baltic and Warren Street. We kinda wish he hadn’t: It’s almost too much for us to handle. This thing is so ugly even the developer is trying to flip it to a greater fool before leasing it up or condo-ing it. At almost $500 a foot, this place should be against the law. We are so sick of this crap getting built and the enabling parties (yes, that means you, developers, architects, and brokers). Stop the madness! Now please excuse us while we go find our happy place.

Word.
