Chelsea Welcomes Yves to the Neighborhood

1.

YVES HORRIBLE!!! What little personality Seventh Ave had is ovah - long live Raymond's Cafe......

2.

How about "Hives" instead?

3.

At least its original. Do we need another address as name building?

4.

So, what constitutes a "good" name? Chelsea Stratus? Chelsea House?

Yves (pronounced Eve, according to Cantor Pecorella) is far more creative and unique in my opinion.

5.

The name is fine, but the building is awful!
So ''late 80's-early 90's'' So american

6.

Damn. The horse stable was much more useful.

7.

Sacre bleu! C'est tres horrible!

8.

The architecture is pure New York schlock.

9.

Those terraces will be good for "Summer's Yves"...or is that what you would call your pied a terre there?

10.

i think that cantor percorella does junk.
didnt they do a couple of others around there....yuck

11.

It is an Ismael Levya building, take a look at his website.

12.

"Summer's Yves" That's hilarious, #9!!

13.

#9 nailed it! Too funny.

14.

So now we're naming luxury condos after French bitches? WTF has this city come to?

North Las Vegas, here I come.

15.

isnt this infamous landlord benjamin shaoul's project?

16.

Very ugly, but that doesn't mean anything these days. People will buy anything as long as it's built on Manhattan. And the higher the price, the better. By the way #1, Raymond's was replaced by Safran several months ago.

17.

Didn't some of the people in the condos to the east get their windows bricked in?

18.

1. Yes Ben Shaoul is one of the developers.
2. This is one of the most impressive developments I have seen downtown as of late. Check it out for yourself before you pass judgement.
3. I love how #10 says "Cantor Pecorella does junk." Cantor Pecorella simply markets the properties - they do not develop them.
4. No, I am not Ben Shaoul, associated with the project, and I do not work for Cantor Pecorella so you can stop all the hate posting now.

19.

Yeah, The Plaza conversion was real "junk"....it is frigging magnificent. Go take a look at it, clown.

20.

#9: Those terraces will be good for "Summer's Yves"
Isn't that a douche?

21.

Yow. I can just hear the architect pitching its "fractal forms." Maybe the word "diadem" was thrown in there. WHAT A DOG! It has that garish, on-the-cheap almost-deco styling of a Cineplex Odeon multiplex from the eighties and nineties. I can almost smell the faux-butter topping on the popcorn. The stable building was an absolute gem, and I mourn it whenever I walk by the site. When they write the history of the most craven condo excesses of the first decade of this century, the before-and-after photos from this site will certainly be included.

22.

has anyone noticed that the tacky yves looks an awful lot like the equally tacky "herald center" at 34th and broadway (home of the dmv and daffy's)? both are all glass and both have that weird metal banding going on....
take a look at herald center:

mmm.....two million to live in an apartment that looks like the worst building on 34th street! LOL

23.

all of these new developments are for NON New Yorkers that are flooding this City and destroying what is was.GO BACK HOME.
