The island of Manhattan boasts so many soaring towers, that it’s hardly news when a new one shoots up—even if its spire pierces the clouds. That said, now and then, there’s an exception in the form of an ambitious architectural masterpiece, like the west side’s new 90-story Affirmation Tower, a five-tiered, terrazzo-clad skyscraper that, upon closer inspection, appears to be upside down. Developed by Don Peebles, the chief operating officer at the Peebles Corporation, and designed by AD100 architect Sir David Adjaye, Affirmation Tower is as symbolic as it is enormous (1,663 feet tall and two million square feet.) Not only is the statuesque mixed-use building developed, built, and funded by Black- and female-owned businesses, but its tenants will be minority entrepreneurs (with the exception of the local NAACP offices, among Affirmation Tower’s earliest tenants to move in).

All the aesthetic appeal of an upside down stack of boxes. The building is not attractive.
” developed, built, and funded by Black- and female-owned businesses,”
Gee, I wonder how far you’d have to follow the money trail, until it lead to U.S. taxpayer’s hard earned money?
I’m guessing maybe twice removed, surely not much farther than that.
1. Blah blah blah black blah blah blah
2. It's tall

#5: It’s an Ode to Black Culture
The boxes are clad in floor-to-ceiling glass windows that sit within a milky white terrazzo façade whose shape mimics afro picks, a subtle tribute to Black culture.
You can't make this stuff up...
Not sure if I want an office on the top floor or the very bottom.
Maybe white people can’t rent space there?
I’m sure they don’t want white folk renting there or even entering
"Wait 'til Otis sees us, he LOVES US!"
Can’t wait!
Seriously, I. Cannot. Wait.
“I would not feel very comfortable working in the upper floors of that building!”
I’d be uncomfortable being anywhere near it.
How many black women do you see these days who look like they want to be anywhere near an afro or an afro pick? They mostly wear relaxed or straightened hair or wigs resembling the same.
I am thinking of lack of sunlight in many areas because of the overhanging top floors. How about ice accumulating on those overhangs and then falling down 1,000 feet to the street below?
That’s ray-ciss!
Affirmative action architects, affirmative action engineers, affirmative action MDs.
What could possibly go wrong?
....but you must stop smirking about this biggus....
Not sure if there are official stats kept, but every winter dozens are injured or even killed by falling ice from tall buildings.
That says it all!
Instead of traditional building materials they could put loads of dreadlocks in the walls for insulation.
Or hemp
