An embarassment of riches

I'm glad people have been keeping tabs over the last year or so on condo sales in Manhattan. Gawker brings us this fun tidbit of info.

Fire in Jersey City condo construction site

A fire broke out last night at a condo construction site in Jersey City. Read the AP article here.

More fun photos.

20 Bayard, Williamsburg (where else, baby?!)

ps. go to twentybayard.com and read the tiny little "reasons we love living in williamsburg" , it'll make you covor your moniter with projectile vomit.

W Hotel, Hoboken New Jersey

Poor Hoboken. Why are they getting a W Hotel & Residences? As if the late night crowd here wasn't obnoxious enough, now they're a home base for BAT tourists.

This picture comes from the Starwood Hotel's preview of the W. Blech design; doesn't hold a candle to their other god awful new buildings invading "hot" markets around the country (don't look at "New York Downtown", it will make you cry). Here's hoping Hoboken doesn't get choked with glass and concrete high-rises. We wouldn't want another Jersey City.

The razor's edge is only so thin.

It's already been pointed out, but let's do it again:

The Edge !!


Copyranter does a better job than us at cutting it down. Scroll down to September 25, 2007.

Did you know they are putting in a water taxi stop in front of this building? Gee, maybe that will ease the pressure off the L-train.
