My take on Pier 27 is that although there isn’t anything groundbreaking in its design, it will be a vast improvement over all other central waterfront buildings in the city. Could it be better? Of course… but it seems as though there will be plenty of space given over for pedestrians – as there should be for such a prime location – and the condo itself will be interesting and attractive when completed. We could wait around for another two or three decades for some government to give the city money for a landmark of some kind (such as a “world-class†park or museum) or we could start something on our own, which is ultimately what I think would be more beneficial for the central waterfront and the city as a whole. I for one am tired of waiting around for successive governments and agencies to continue making promises and not delivering – it’s time to put some shovels in the ground and start cleaning up, organizing, beautifying and breathing new life into so much wasted waterfront land.
