309-311 Fifth Avenue, The Dylan
Posted on May 8, 2015 by — No Comments
One of the few completed new buildings in the NoMad district, 309-311 Fifth Avenue, also known as The Dylan, is a well-mannered newcomer overall. The wafer-thin appearance of the façade and the sculptured entry (shown above) are both nice touches. However, the failure to fill out the street wall – leaving the masonry scars from the buildings it replaced visible on either side – are a testament to the need to address the city’s current zoning envelopes.
