Building Tour

I had the chance to tour a luxury condo development in Hoboken and was able to take a few pictures along the way.

Nice hardhats, yes?

Notice the Empire State Building in the background.  Good view from the roof.

There's the ESB again from inside a unit.

A view from the finished building next door in the resident lounge.

I suppose New Jersey does have one thing New York doesn't.  Views of New York!

View from the balcony of a top floor unit in a waterfront property.

Not a bad view to have in your kitchen.

Nice park outside too.

Den interior walls

View from Den

Hallway!

Bathroom

This unit is available for the low price of $2 million.  1500 square feet...more than 3 times what I have!

The dock could use some work.

After touring New Jersey, we also had an unscheduled tour of YOTEL, a hotel.  In other words, the person I was with just walked up to the front desk and asked to see a room.  For whatever reason, they said okay even though we were clearly locals.

The bed, which takes up 33% of the room.

Tiny hotel room.  My back is against the door to the room.

Nice view though.

The rooms go for $200-$300 a night.  Small is the new thing?

What...is...eh?

I saved the best for last.  This contraption is in the lobby and stores your luggage.  You insert your suitcase into a slot and this machine uses its forklift bars to open one of the "morgue trays" and bring it down.  Then the slot slides your luggage into it and puts the tray back into the wall.  Wow.  Soon we won't need humans for anything.
