New York is still a place of bold architecture.
Emily Nonko shares news of a chance to vote for the "Building of the Year" in New York City, but not before summing up a strange and unpredictable year in the city's development:
The city is still a place with bold new construction projects, glittering towers and mega-developments, unique and creative amenities — especially to respond to a year sticking close to home. 2020 brought the introduction of a new public park inside an Upper West Side mega-development, multi-million dollar condo sales along Billionaire’s Row, the restoration of a classic NYC landmark, and impressive new architecture that promises to shape our ever-changing skyline.
The poll by 6sqft offers readers the chance to vote on 12 residential buildings—asking for the public's input about what should be considered the city's building of the year. Voting lasts until December 13, and a winner will be announced on December 14.
