Taconic Investment Partners is poised to spectacularly transform one of Manhattan's least popular skyscrapers.
375 Pearl (also known as the Verizon Building and One Brooklyn Bridge Plaza) is a 32-story telephone switching building at the Manhattan end of the Brooklyn Bridge. It's floors are over five meters tall and it is considered the most ugly tower in NYC by many people.
But that may change becuse Cook & Fox has designed a totally new curtain wall which will cover the entire tower and expose X-beams throughout the entire tower, without any doubt making it one of the coolest buildings in the city. Because of its location and because it is in a low-rise area, it is a well-known skyscraper.
The biggest blight upon the lower Manhattan skyline will be transformed into a great tower.

I can't wait for a stupid comment like, "I don't like the new design and the limestone facade should be left alone."
