The 80’s are back in a big way in fashion and music, so why not real estate too? Well, guess what…..that 80’s favorite, glass brick, is making a come-back. And it’s being used by none other than ultra-cool architect Enrique Norten in his swell new hotel in the West Chelsea Art’s District, the AMERICANO. Glass brick encases the elevator on the street facade which no doubt will be illuminated to create a sculptural presence on West 28th street.

Debbie Harry would approve.
