High Line reconstruction

Developers swarm to reap High Line runoff on the West Side

Bluejake has some nice photos of development on and around the High Line. You get to see the back of that Frank Gehry building along the West Side Highway too. (via kottke.org)

Compare the development to what the High Line used to look like, overgrown with rambling roses and bramble patches.

Field Operations is leading charge to turn the High Line into a winding public park. They competed in, and won, LVHRD's ARCHDL III.
