Nice collection. Hazelton is a terrific street - it has a certain small town charm to it. I wish new development would be more like that.

Nice shots. Certainly a place where I'd like to live.

Good pictures. Thanks for posting these. With "Dav and Av" at one end, and Yorkville at the other, this little nabe oozes good taste and sophistication.

I had always assumed that One St.Thomas would turn out to be better - we seem to have ended up with a building that is more comfortable in the company of the other faux-ish condominiums for people with "good taste" that clutter the area than with one that boldly appropriates the spirit of deco and does something new with it.

Gotta love that Colonnade though.

1 st. thomas is still ambiguous to me. at times it looks incredible, and at times its remarkably bland. i'm looking forward to its completion so that i can finally form an opinion.

that said, the best view to be had of 1 st. thomas is from inside victoria college. from that perspective it's very attractive

In my book it ranks among the most attractive highrises to be built here. Like much of his firm's work there's a nod to the past- in this case it's massing is very much 1920-30's highrises. Indeed this building would fit well in Manhattan or the Loop. Not to get too much off topic but I couldn't help but notice that Stern has designed Philadelphia's latest skyscraper- the 975 foot Comcast centre. Not his usual work I must say:
