Yesterday, Curbed dug up a number of renderings of the new Ismael Leyva building that would rise at 150 Fourth Avenue where a row of old apartment buildings was demolished earlier this year. In fact, last week, we posted about an adjoining building that has had to be vacated because it was so badly damaged during the demolition work for the Leyva project, rendering a number of families homeless. The Leyva building would rise to 12 stories and have 95 units. If construction financing can be secured.

The new building looks stupid. It looks like the new builder wasnt able to obtain the 2 properties on either side of the new building and will squish it in anyway. The old tenements looked so much better IMO. Why must everything look like a glass office tower. I work in a office all day long, I wouldnt want to live in one also.
