Last I checked the only reason this was controversial was because some rich douchebag didn’t want this bridge built because it would take traffic away from his aging almost 100 year old bridge two miles up stream. Which he refuses to repair btw

How will this Bridge increase traffic? Wouldn't it just take away traffic from existing routes?

Stunning tower. Bold and super efficient. What a piece of art. Definitely fits NY's personality

I hate that they are calling this building 'Carbon Positive' because that is the exact opposite language everyone else uses to talk about this concept. The building is Carbon Negative because it removes more Carbon than it generates.

Lol an aspen tree!?? Lolol umm no! Damn hippies can tell you people anything and you will believe it! This is actually a copied design from ancient Muslim buildings for the desert! For the Olympics a few years ago Dubai built an entire city for Olympians no AC perfect air flow to keep place cold or hot! Look it up! This building is a sad copy really!

I'm glad you noted the structural differences between 1 & 2, but its worth saying that the differences continue above ground too. 2 Manhattan West is basically an all-steel structure (braced steel core and perimeter steel columns) similar to the original WTC towers and 30 Hudson Yards, whereas 1 MW has the unconventional base, but above is a standard steel perimeter column, concrete core structure (typical of modern high-rise office buildings).

Absolutely terrible design

Call this condo affordable? Let’s rephrase that and say “UNTENABLE”… 🙄

Why did we pay for everything. Americans build their share tjemselves ffs

Why cant we have beautiful architecture any more. Its all modernist eyesores.

Beautiful Bridge

Why can't architects create anything beautiful anymore?

Well this bridge pales in comparison to what the Chinese are building.

Carbon "positive" means PRODUCES carbon, NOT REDUCES carbon.....So immediately can't trust anything this dude says based on straight up ignorance.

Canadians get all tolls until the loan is paid!! Love it. Canadians have a strong public finance system for infrastructure.

So Canadian funds were used to leverage $2.2Bn of USA highway funds so we are still paying about half the construction cost. Am I misinterpreting here? This is an awesome bridge project and will reduce traffic congestion and pollution in downtown Windsor

If the hotel’s goal is to capture high end business travelers and convention goers than the need for parking will be lessened. There is also a free shuttle up and down Denver’s 16th st to assist in getting around. Also, there are several train options to get around town and the airport. Hypothetically, the lack of parking spaces can work out for everyone.

Crazy how NYC is building towers that resemble the Twin Towers collapsing & nobody bats an eye.

Panting trees is a cheap way out, they should have made the building able to capture carbon itself.

I love Jeanne Gang's designs, and even thought this isn't my favorite, it's quite playful for an American structure. The lack of onsite parking seems problematic, although I assume they know what they're doing beyond saving the associated costs involved.

That is one butt-ugly building.

The Cheese Grater

This structure is not in the tradition of the Chicago School of Architecture. Buildings such as the First National Bank, the John Hancock Center, are steel frame skyscrapers in the Chicago tradition. The M1 is of reinforced-concrete, an inferior technique that will deteriorate with age. Remember the collapse of the Surfside condo in Florida, it was of this type.

Gawdy

No onsite parking will actually improve traffic congestion. More parking = more induced vehicle trips

Denver is going more woketard by the day.

Nice work! Haven’t seen anything else about this one

Would have never heard of this building without this video! Luv it!

I like the look. Eye catching for sure

Nice! But you should replace the irresponsible private video dangerously flying over the working area with something from an approved source. It's not good to egg people on with toy drones by giving them more reach. Maybe even reach out to the Gordie Howe International Bridge Authority for approved video? They have MUCH nicer stuff actually taken by videographers on the bridge. In the future, working with the people running the project, using the high quality of your video presentation as an example, will get you access to better footage that's approved.

Why didn't they build it in Port Huron access to 69 and 94 less traffic

Do you want some cheese with your whining?

Just discovered your channel, great delivery and content. Thanks!

I appreciate you giving us the measurements in imperial and metric.

I worked here for almost 3 months and made close to 100k in that short window of time. Im just a construction worker. The taco trucks on site are awesome. The porta johns are terrible

EUV lithography machines use 1MW peak or continuous?!?

This is what the rich are doing in NYC: "Let them eat cake".

Doesn't sound that affordable to me. Overall I think this tower is a big bore. Adds nothing interesting to the skyline and because of the smaller base and widening tower just looks like a glass building being squeezed into a smaller building below. The only good thing I can say about it is at least its not as hideous as Jahns State of Illinois Center monstrosity.

That Maroun guy is a greedy, jealous Hog. I still think that they should have come up with a better name for this impressive structure.

they really want planes to fly into them again, they never learn 😂😂

shitcago still building skyscrapers? that dieing city has a declining population hahaha Toronto is a real city, and will forever be greater than chicago

6 billion and it has a double yellow line separating directions of traffic, LMAO. Will be a deathtrap especially during bad weather.

Dude this is impressive as hell for a ~5k channel I thought I was watching b1m for a sec. Great commentary, well informed, and engaging pics. Well done man wishing you all the success

So 57% of Americans are ....

The reason new bridge is due big 3 detroit was piss due late trucks yes did happen just in time systems.the new bridge was long overdue.i know truckers from.western canada said they will never go back due delays pure simple.the old was days numbers and lack proper care.the bridge is look around world for design how will work now.thanks video😊

One of the issues with the Ambassador bridge (on the Canada side) is you have to get off the highway and go though downtown Windsor. That's ok if you're headed to a ball game or something downtown Detroit, but no good for anyone just passing through

Prettiest skyscraper ever
