I believe in front of Merril is the new GS building. HQ is still on Broad, but I know alot of people have moved from JC and broad into this building. Can you see the AIG building down by Water? Good luck in the new digs and welcome to the neighborhood. Barry-

It would be interesting to SimCity-ish those Bailout Buildings/templates treating their 2007 volumes vs their March 15 2008 -March 9 2009 net- worths...or de-layering them toward transparency (to ghost the images?). A whole lot of Class A space exist only in Space. All those immenseness buildings based on one little idea; to financially engineer new ways of creating wealth without most doing the hard work of thinking, leveraging sweat equity while avoiding the black holes of Madoffs. Thanks for the diorama idea. It’s a great Country, America!

I found NYC to be mean streets equaled only by LA. My lawyer will call your lawyer. Slip and fall down: get run over. Sidewalks or business. My son loves it. I don't hate it, but it's too cold and uncaring for me. @TAkBok04: Wow!

This is largely how Cooper was able to provide tuition-free education for the last century and change years. In typical NYC fashion, Cooper only owns the land under their original "Foundation" building. The land under their new building, I believe belongs to the City. They sold two other parcels in the immediate vicinity (one a parking lot, the other their "from-the-50's" engineering building) to fund the new (ugly, inhospitable) building. Whoever bought the parcels are taking a serious bath (Cooper has no fund management skills whatsoever, but in this case they were phenomenally lucky) …the land under the Chrysler building belongs to Cooper Union, and all NYC tax revenues from the tenants go to Cooper Union.
