Quote of Note | Andre Balazs

“I’m particularly proud of [the New York Standard] because it’s an extraordinary example of what happens when the end-user of a building actually designs the building as well. Because of the way business works, there are developers who basically finish a building and turn it over to someone who’s going to operate it or sell it off. Take Condé Nast, for example. The building was developed by a different group of people and Condé Nast was brought in as a tenant at the end, but the building never reflected its goals and objectives.
