Malcontent Over Marriott on 6th Ave
The frightful beast began taking shape this fall, but hope still held tight to the lowly rebar popping from the site. A new building on this strip of 6th could begin to reshape what has always been M&J Trimming's block. Yet slowly, the new Residence Inn by Marriott rose with gut aching prominence. So much worse then a yawn, Nobutaka Ashihara Associate's 436-ft zit leaves us cold and bitter.
These 43 floors have more junk bonds then Mike Milken's white cube up the block. Check the finishing, windows, and chunk skin applications.
No excuse for these materials, but even more importantly, the half square cutting up each corner. Reminds me of another hunk we've covered.
