That puts this view above what we saw from the 100th, 101st, and 102nd floors when we previewed the future observation deck. Other than this floor looking way less secure (mesh netting?! really?!), we can't really tell the difference. When you're that high, everything looks tiny. [CurbedWire Inbox; previously]

WILLIAMSBURG?The Hot Karl behemouth that is 95 Bedford Avenue is nearly complete.
