NYC Building Boom Goes Bust


Changes in the famous NYC skyline would have been made but with the world in financial straits it seems new architectural icons will not mark the horizon anytime soon. Luxury apartments and swanky office spaces have been put on hold (some indefinitely) awaiting completion of financing and adequate percentage of tenants. Fortunately, some projects have not begun the process while others are already mid-process. Less than a year ago each of these projects were on their way but economic changes have taken their toll and some architectural dreams may never be realized. Hopefully, some of these shining new developments, shown in the gallery below, will someday share their unique design with this grand city.
