Above is just a partial list of some of the larger new condominium projects being built or converted in Manhattan. Combined the above represents well over a thousand new apartments set to hit the market. A lot of people write in to ask why we don't write about this or that new condo. The truth is few if any of them are at all ambitious in terms of architecture and design. Still, there is an overall collective effect on the cityscape that is worth noting. After the jump a bit more on some of these projects for the sake of recording this frenzied moment in New York's development history. We may update this list now and then so it will be suitable for a time capsule. As Gore Vidal once wrote of a different city "one day these may make great ruins."
