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. No public space has brought more people together in New York for positive reasons since the 1964 World’s Fair. Continue reading

limelight, although the genius of Frank Lloyd Wright has also been acknowledged. In this rather restricted context, relatively few office buildings of the period 1900 to 1940 have featured in the literature, no doubt because many conservative businessmen tended to shy away from radical – some said Bolshevik – brands of modern architecture.

The Standard- Friends in high places
The latest creation from André Balazs is a New York branch of his modish Standard hotels. Rising from one of the city’s most sought-after sites, in the heart of the Meatpacking District, two glass-curtain slabs literally jump the tracks of the High Line, the old freight railroad that’s been transformed into a park on stilts. The design spans—and expands on—a century of modern architecture. Continue reading
