Several months ago a building started going up on the other side of City Hall Park. It just kept going up and up and up until finally, being so out of proportion to all the surrounding neighborhood, I decided to find out what it was. So, I Googled "Big tall building, City Hall Park" and got introduced to The Beekman.
Now how something so 'out of place' got put in the middle of these tiny streets and short buildings is odd. 77 stories of luxury apartments, a school (now that's forward thinking), and part of the NY Downtown Hospital.
Flat on one side,, and 'swirvy' on the other three, the building is silver. Like silver painted cars, that always look dirty to me, the Beekman, with more than half the facade almost up, is completely muddy, dirty,,, from the air, rain, pollution. I only hope they give it a good 'car wash' before opening day.
