Talk:53W53

Delayed indefinitely

Special:Contributions/96.246.161.64 keeps reverting the December 2008 New York Times article saying the building is on indefinite hold. The article says:

Now that high-end bubble has popped, and it is unlikely to return anytime soon. Jean Nouvel’s 75-story residential tower adjoining the Museum of Modern Art has been delayed indefinitely. And developers now seem loath to undertake similar projects. Even if the economy turns around, the public’s tolerance for outsize architectural statements that serve the rich and self-absorbed has already been pretty much exhausted.

If you have a newer reference saying it is on track please post with a reference. Americasroof (talk) 20:39, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
