New Black Tower Coming to Manhattan's East Side

Near the UN...

American architect Richard Meier has unveiled the design for an apartment block on New York's East River, eschewing his signature white palette for black glass facades, dezeen.com reports.

The 42-storey tower will sit on the corner of 39th Street at 685 First Avenue, a few blocks south of where my office with IBM World Trade was many years ago when we were across from United Nations headquarters.
