After nearly three years of deliberation and modifications, a project by Foster + Partners at 980 Madison Ave on New York’s Upper East Side has received approval from the city’s Landmarks Preservation Commission.
“Although it's taken a long time, we believe we've found a positive way to embrace the Landmarks Preservation Commission’s comments that has resulted in an uncompromised design,” says Chris Connell, the partner in charge of the project. “Taken collectively, the changes made a real and positive impact on the design.”
