There's nothing false in that statement. It'll be a great building, and Mizrahi has a right to be proud. of it. Is he a narcissist? I'm not a psychiatrist, so I wouldn't presume to make that diagnosis. No doubt everybody playing in the RE development game has a healthy ego.

He personally did all of the hard work. No team. And no realization that his legacy involves screwing purchasers, trades, and investors.

But OK. i'll drop this.
 
Hey if anyone wants a good laugh at what a developer really messing up look up 432 Park avenue in New York 96 story building built so bad/rushed that the owners say it's unlivable and are sueing the builder and if that isn't funny enough the architect who owns a unit is one of the main plaintiffs just kinda thought it fit into this topic nicely 🤣🤣🤣
 
From today. I was able to get a shot from a higher floor.

If there was an argument to preserve stollerys facade , it'd have to be to move it to the interior/atrium like the historic facade in the Calatrava atrium of Brookfield Place .

It'd look out of place as a standard facadectomy under a tower where it was located.

They did something similar to the remains of Berlin's historic Hotel Esplanade(along with its Kaisersaal), one of the few buildings around Potsdamer Platz to survive the war and that city's post-war division. When the area was reconstructed after re-unification, they disassembled the building where Chaplin and Garbo once stayed, moved it 75 meters to the southwest (due to a reconfiguration of the streets) and incorporated it into the new Sony Center. Today it is visible from the street behind the glass facade of the new structure.

The trait of a classic narcissist.

"I developed the building, I bought the corner, I zoned it, I built it up to the 53rd floor — all of the heavy lifting, I've done. There's no dispute about that," he said. "Nobody can dispute that my legacy in terms of what I've done stands and speaks for itself."

I cant read the article because it's paywalled, but as soon as see the words "Edward Rogers" I know it's nothing I can take seriously because he's the pettiest little boy in the city. If someone looks at him in the wrong way he'll try and fire and/or sue them.

Edward Rogers gives Kendall Roy energy.

After overcharging everyone, the guy claims responsibility for achieving everything by himself, then brags about a legacy which is completely inconsiderate of all of the people who are now screwed because of his mismanagement.
 
If Apple had just built that standalone flagship store there - this place would have been a lot quieter.
