Maybe it will be affordable to do in thirty years, when New York finally recovers.

Looks like a pool flotation device.

[Reverend Wright]

they need to do some wind tunnel testing on that baby.

could be some interesting forces on the windows on the inside.

[heavy metal]

it resembles an inflatable bounce house...

[fso301]

Actually, i like it but who will occupy it in this new work at home era?

[Viking2002]

My God, it looks like a psychotic pool float.......

[Erik Latranyi]

I saw this in Taiwan a few years ago.

Fitting,,, Considering how twisted New York city is.

The preceding panel had the construction foreman swat a fly with the rolled up blueprint.

How about we leave NYC alone for now.

No meddling. Especially from any country near the Middle East.

And who’s going to pay for it? Most residents have already left. Can’t blame them.

Hideous!

[Irenic]

Very ugly.

[BiglyCommentary]

Window washing on those curses is going to be a real bear.

[metmom]

What a monstrosity.

I would not be taking bets that it will not start sinking before they get to the middle of construction.

I note a few things, one being the inability for the structure to “float” in top of any sort of foundation that they propose in that area so close to liquid.

The second thought was that if build they will have no end of ability to cope with jumpers as they have a huge number of balconies.

Any sort of Storm event that is critical for existing structures, flooding or seismic action will drop it in a heartbeat.

Occupation of such a structure that brings in sufficient income to cover costs to build and turn to profit is in no way going to happen in the next 50 years, if that.

You cannot build a mansion on mud.

Looks like something that a deranged liberal would come up with.

[RoosterRedux]

It will fail because it won't appraise adequately (for lending purposes) and it wouldn't get past the planning commission.

The primary reasons for this are (1) it isn't aesthetically pleasing on its own and (2) it isn't an aesthetically pleasing addition to its neighborhood (i.e., it doesn't fit or complement its neighborhood and it could be argued it will cause a decline in neighborhood values).

[COBOL2Java]

The fire escape chutes in the middle of the building look like fun

[Political Junkie Too]

It looks like a sculpture that Marie Barone would make.
