It seems that the Chinese architects building new condos on 7th avenue prefer the art deco/bauhaus style of design. The buildings seems to take one back to the thirties in look and design. I have always had a liking for art deco since I came to New York. Preferring the Chrysler building to the Empire State. In any case, at least these buildings are not the drab soviet style buildings that one would find in old Beijing or North Korea or even the square drab buildings that they built in the 40's and 50's which are typical of many of the co ops one finds in Sunset Park and Bay Ridge.
This example can be found on the corner of 50th and 7th avenues.
This one can be seen on the corner of 55th and 7th across the street from the Bay Ridge Post Office.
This one on 58th and 7th is nearing completion and is only missing the usual stainless steel balcony accoutrement.
