The Official site (http://www.80southstreet.net/) for the 80 South Street Project by Santiago Calatrava

Please also find included alternate views of the 80 Street project that I personally have never seen before, and I find them to be quite interesting.

Despite some early doubts whether Frank Sciame's audacious 80 South Street tower designed by Santiago Calatrava would actually be built, a flurry of expensive advertising seems to suggest the project is alive and well. Last week the first ads began appearing in the New York Times, and this week a big double-page spread greets readers of entertainment industry bible Variety. The ten condo units begin at $29 million, for those of you scoring at home. The web site is now fully functional, and has glimpses of new detailed renderings that give views of the amazing spaces. This is one project where the overused word "unique" can be justly applied. Make sure to view Calatrava's gorgeous watercolor sketches, works of art in their own right. The only lingering question is whether the Seaport location can lure big fish more accustomed to SoHo and TriBeCa waters. Then again, Sciame only has to bait and hook ten buyers. TRIPLEMINT.COM

I thought you were joking......unitl I visited the web site!

"10 townhouse condominiums starting at $29m" :P

That is a beautiful building!

Calatrava is an amazing architect.

Wow, its an exceptional looking building. I would not mind :)

Yeah... beautiful... my only concern is the privacy and sustainable issue... all that glass...

floor plans are only available upon request :(

interesting idea - but doesnt fit in well - sticks out like a sore thumb - an UGLY sore thumb

Totally disagree with that. Yea it sticks out, its distinctive. In New York City a building has to be, else it's just like the one behind it, in front of it etc. And I guess everyone has different taste, but, I don't think it's ugly at all.

I do agree with the glass issues tho.

its just lackin in something - just to plain - yes - its awesome with all its suspendy lookin stuff - but overall a very bland design

I don't think so. Ps. you've just kindof contradicted yourself, you've gone from ugly, to awesome , to bland :)

hehe - well - what i was tryin to get at is the idea of suspending it is fantastic, but not very well executed - so the blandness of the execution of this design makes thebuilding ugly :) (must be work gettin to me :P )

Well I think us debating this is pointless bc we have completely different taste and very rarely agree on anything :D

who said i was debating :D hehe

Ha Ha ;)
