Stunning and unique building!

There is no controversy.........The public good will always trump a rich wealthy brat.

Why they named the Bridge after Hollywood Actress Goldie Hawn when she wasn't even from Michigan beats me.

Wow, thanks for the praise for the newest eyesore to Chicago's skyline. We have more than enough skyscrapers here. Which means if they plan on building more, they should not be so ugly as to detract from the beauty and uniqueness of Chicago's skyline. Frankly, it is garish, and belongs more in a city like Teipei, than it does in Chicago. In it's tiered structure, it seems to want to copy the design of the Sears Tower (and yes that is what we call it here), but without all of the flair of the Sears Tower. First time I saw it, I could not believe how truly ugly this building is. Before talking about this building you should have considered the Prudential or the Crain Communications Building. These both have style and beauty.

Beautiful bridge and great engineering. However, the similar design bridge in Vancouver had/has a problem with falling ice in an ice storm. Detroit Windsor is much more likely to see ice than Vancouver. I really hope it is not an issue.

When I drove tractor trailer in the USa and going from the KW area in Ontario canada to Salt Lake City in Utah, I would always exit canda at the end of the 402 at Sarnia Ontario and cross the bridge ther into Port Huron Michigan, then 69 to interstate 80 and head west. Doing that was only 6 miles further then if I went over the much more expensive Ambasadour bridge

The only problem, it's in New York. I guarantee, they've explored every option to get out of this. 2026 Headline: "Multi-Billion Dollar Tower Mostly Empty. Why?"

One side of the bridge is higher than the other, but one video shows the American side as higher, while another video shows the Canadian side higher.???

Those proposed buildings in blue will never ever happen. Keep dreaming Chicago lol. The city is so damn broke they have to rely on private investors and some govt funding. lol. Typical Chicago

The ambassador is a on its last. We need a new bridge

6.4 billion dollar spectacle of failed nations. Cant build much but hemmoriods now and have ro shio everything in

I had heard that the Hudson Yards project was not selling as well as expected. How about this project?

Greed. That's all. That's why anything is tried to be stopped.

Holy cow, you know you’ve been gone from Chicago for a long time when you learn about the existence of a building this big in the Loop through a YT video.

How dies a bridge cost 6.4 bil?

Yeah, CHASE doesn't make any money.

Very well done documentary. As you were mentioning current/past commercial crossings you neglected to mention the Blue Water bridge to the north. 😊 great work 👍

How many apartments are section 8???

Last I checked the only reason this was controversial was because some rich douchebag didn’t want this bridge built because it would take traffic away from his aging almost 100 year old bridge two miles up stream. Which he refuses to repair btw

How will this Bridge increase traffic? Wouldn't it just take away traffic from existing routes?

Stunning tower. Bold and super efficient. What a piece of art. Definitely fits NY's personality

I hate that they are calling this building 'Carbon Positive' because that is the exact opposite language everyone else uses to talk about this concept. The building is Carbon Negative because it removes more Carbon than it generates.

Lol an aspen tree!?? Lolol umm no! Damn hippies can tell you people anything and you will believe it! This is actually a copied design from ancient Muslim buildings for the desert! For the Olympics a few years ago Dubai built an entire city for Olympians no AC perfect air flow to keep place cold or hot! Look it up! This building is a sad copy really!

I'm glad you noted the structural differences between 1 & 2, but its worth saying that the differences continue above ground too. 2 Manhattan West is basically an all-steel structure (braced steel core and perimeter steel columns) similar to the original WTC towers and 30 Hudson Yards, whereas 1 MW has the unconventional base, but above is a standard steel perimeter column, concrete core structure (typical of modern high-rise office buildings).

Absolutely terrible design

Call this condo affordable? Let’s rephrase that and say “UNTENABLE”… 🙄

Why did we pay for everything. Americans build their share tjemselves ffs

Why cant we have beautiful architecture any more. Its all modernist eyesores.

Beautiful Bridge

Why can't architects create anything beautiful anymore?

Well this bridge pales in comparison to what the Chinese are building.

Carbon "positive" means PRODUCES carbon, NOT REDUCES carbon.....So immediately can't trust anything this dude says based on straight up ignorance.

Canadians get all tolls until the loan is paid!! Love it. Canadians have a strong public finance system for infrastructure.

So Canadian funds were used to leverage $2.2Bn of USA highway funds so we are still paying about half the construction cost. Am I misinterpreting here? This is an awesome bridge project and will reduce traffic congestion and pollution in downtown Windsor

If the hotel’s goal is to capture high end business travelers and convention goers than the need for parking will be lessened. There is also a free shuttle up and down Denver’s 16th st to assist in getting around. Also, there are several train options to get around town and the airport. Hypothetically, the lack of parking spaces can work out for everyone.

Crazy how NYC is building towers that resemble the Twin Towers collapsing & nobody bats an eye.

Panting trees is a cheap way out, they should have made the building able to capture carbon itself.

I love Jeanne Gang's designs, and even thought this isn't my favorite, it's quite playful for an American structure. The lack of onsite parking seems problematic, although I assume they know what they're doing beyond saving the associated costs involved.

That is one butt-ugly building.

The Cheese Grater

This structure is not in the tradition of the Chicago School of Architecture. Buildings such as the First National Bank, the John Hancock Center, are steel frame skyscrapers in the Chicago tradition. The M1 is of reinforced-concrete, an inferior technique that will deteriorate with age. Remember the collapse of the Surfside condo in Florida, it was of this type.

Gawdy

No onsite parking will actually improve traffic congestion. More parking = more induced vehicle trips

Denver is going more woketard by the day.

Nice work! Haven’t seen anything else about this one

Would have never heard of this building without this video! Luv it!

I like the look. Eye catching for sure

Nice! But you should replace the irresponsible private video dangerously flying over the working area with something from an approved source. It's not good to egg people on with toy drones by giving them more reach. Maybe even reach out to the Gordie Howe International Bridge Authority for approved video? They have MUCH nicer stuff actually taken by videographers on the bridge. In the future, working with the people running the project, using the high quality of your video presentation as an example, will get you access to better footage that's approved.
