HL23 – 515 West 23rd Street – Condo – Chelsea – by Neil Denari
The High Line has done as much for New York City horizontally as the Empire State Building has vertically. Arriving when millenniums meet, it may be the most important piece of income-generating, entertainment-oriented urban design since the boardwalk. Attracting over 40,000 visitors per weekend, it generates an estimated $2 billion in private investment.

The feeling on the streets now is the same as it is in most of the galleries: the sheer amount of work, and the mediocrity of most of it, can make the effort of sorting out the good from the bad too painful to contemplate.

Jean Nouvel’s ‘Vision’ Rising in Chelsea
A gray strip of West Chelsea is about to become the capital of bold architecture in Manhattan. In one corner, the undulating curves of Frank Gehry’s new IAC building. And now facing it, Jean Nouvel’s “Vision Machine,” a 23-story glittering glass residential tower at the 19th Street and the West Side Highway, which broke ground this week. Continue reading
