High over The Highline: Balazs' Standard Hotel takes shape

One word, wow! That was my reaction as I wandered the meatpacking district last week as I was waiting for my car to finish being detailed at the Chelsea Carwash. The pictures say it all with this impressive structure straddling the highline at between Little West 12th and West 13th (Washington and West Street). This is the future Andre Balazs Standard Hotel...look like it will be anything but standard!
