Rendering/Reality is a new Curbed feature that considers the often unsubtle differences between what a building or apartment looks like in its renderings, and what it looks like when they get around to building the thing. Nominees to tips@curbed.com.
Some Friday afternoon fun, courtesy of a tipster, who sends along a comparison at former Development Du Jour Three Ten East 53rd: "This is great for Rendering/Reality. Check out the beautiful studio loft on www.threetencondo.com (above left), and compare with the drab reality of the unit listed on Douglas Elliman (above right). Hey, it's listed for $1,950,000—the most expensive studio ever?"
