Regarding the speed of gentrification in other parts of NYC I'd say those views are only available for a limited period of time. Enjoy -- before the next Frank O. Gehry, Rem Koolhaas, or whatever buildings will be constructed left, right, in the rear, in front of this beautiful house... “Low-profile warehouse buildings throughout the neighborhood allow for long city views, including the Empire State building, from each floor of the Metal Shutter Houses.”

New York really benefits from the strength of a real estate market that is able to sustain developers willing to build relatively small but daring condo developments by big-name (read: expensive) talent. It's fun seeing Ban go so high end, although it from the rendering it does look as though the residents will still need to use drapes in the evening. Hot!
