MNstories reports on a couple of famous local buildings: the Whitney Hotel and the Sears Building. It’s an interesting contrast — The Whitney is being made into high-price condos near the new Guthrie while the Sears Building is being turned into a mixed-use site.

Can't be more predictable than yankees.
Enh, at least some good came out of it. Eventually.
If Hardy can find his form from two years ago it will be a fantastic trade. Go-go was at best a defensive center fielder. If he could have learne...
I agree. The Yankees are boringly predictable.
This is why the Twins are the Twins and the Yankees are the Yankees. Let's see, should we go for Hardy or Teixera? Hmmm.
I tink peraps it is te curc of Crist, Marybet414.
If I can c(h)ime in...I left the 'H' behind years ago and indeed there is no better way. The church of Crist... Bless you all.
I like the guy, but I have to admit he was a bit disappointing.
Just about every time we went to a game at the dome, you'd hear "fans" (quote marks emphasized) trashing GoGo loudly, which made me want to stand ...

Check out the floor plans on the Whitney site, epecially the top floor. Holy penthouse.
The Sears video is part of documentary called Building at a Crossroad.

And let me tell you, that view from the 1200 SQUARE FOOT deck is just unbelievable.
For those wondering, the prices on these break down in the $450+ per square foot range. Which means that somewhere in the neighborhood of $2 mil basically gets you the shell of the Penthouse.
True real estate porn.

I live about 3 blocks from the Sears Bldg, and I’m really looking forward to seeing the neighborhood get some money flowing through it as a result of the redevelopment.
The downside of course is that Spanish Harlem will go away (or just move, actually) in a few years. Further east down Lake St, I’d assume.

I wish I wasn’t poor. I guess I’ll have to settle for my cottage. No fancy lofts for me. The floor plan for the Astor in NYC in the Sunday Times this week blows that place away thou. It has a living room (40 x 22) 2 times larger than my house. I guess $14 million will get you a large living space.

I saw that NYT Mag floorplan too. I just stared at it in awe. But it also felt icky staring at it. Fuck, I hate the contradictions of modern life.
