Construction junction
2. Museum for African Art
1280 Fifth Ave between 109th and 110th Sts
Current siteExpected: Fall 2010
What it brings to the neighborhood: The first new construction on Museum Mile since the opening of the Guggenheim in 1959. A tower of 115 luxury condos will rise on top of it, and the whole thing is designed by Robert A.M. Stern.
What it takes away: The Nueva Esperanza Jardin, a community garden, was razed last year to clear the way for construction.

The Rockaways is experiencing a major redevelopment and for N.Y standard, is very cheap to rent and buy.
How are they even allowed to represent projects like the way this is depicted? The looming fake illustration makes the building look like it's in the middle of some suburban corporate campus, not the insanely dense and cluttered Queensboro Plaza area. That rooftop deck will seem cozy with the clatter and squeal of the #7 train 50 feet away. More absurdly placed, cheaply built habitats for Bloomberg's lemmings. I hope the building offers a permanent supply of Kool-Aid in its lobby Sub-Zero.
No mention of Atlantic Yards?! Really?!
