Daily Intel has an excerpt from Vicky Ward's new book The Liar's Ball: The Extraordinary Saga of How One Building Broke the World's Toughest Tycoons detailing how the iconic Apple store glass cube at the base of the GM building came to be. Ward calls it "the shrewdest investment of Harry Macklowe's career," and writes, "Macklowe had a feeling that his best bet for really transforming the property from a prestigious relic into a vibrant commercial property lay with Apple." The rest of it is worth a read. [Daily Intel; previously]
