Located on the Teleport Campus in Staten Island, Corporate Commons Three is a new 330,000 SF Class A office building. The 8-story office community is designed with all of the top design features and amenities found in Manhattan office buildings. Unique to the existing Staten Island office market, Corporate Commons Three will feature a 40,000 SF green roof with an organic farm, including beehives to make honey, all of which will supply the building’s non-profit on-site restaurant.
The design concept for Corporate Commons three is marked by the building’s unique profile with two dynamic, angled glass facades with vertical fins that provide both ample daylight and passive solar protection. At its base, a long angular overhang adds shading to a pedestrian path. A public art program to beautify the surrounding context will connect the nearby building through the landscaping and local art. The project is pursuing LEED certification and will preserve green space on the property through the creation of a temporary nursey to house tens of thousands of indigenous plants and hundreds of native plant communities, which will enable those species to be replanted on the grounds once the building is complete.

Since 2015, the richest 1% owns more than the rest of humanity. Eight mega-billionaires are as wealthy as humanity’s 3.6 poorest.
“Over the next 20 years, 500 people will hand over $2.1 trillion to their heirs - a sum larger than the GDP of India, a country of 1.3 billion people.”
From 1988 - 2011, the incomes of humanity’s poorest 10% increased by less than $3 a year - less than nothing when adjusted for inflation.
Over the same period, the incomes of humanity’s richest 1% increased 182 times as much.
“A FTSE-100 CEO earns as much in a year as 10,000 people in working in garment factories in Bangladesh. A Dow CEO likely earns as much as 20,000 or 30,000 impoverished third-world workers.
Over the last 30 years, income growth of the world’s bottom 50% was zero. The top 1% tripled their income over the same period.
“In Vietnam, the country’s richest man earns more in a day than the poorest earns in 10 years.”
Super-wealth in the hands of a select few used to make obscene greater amounts is incompatible with peace, equity and justice - what so-called Western civilization abhors, exploiting the many by every means imaginable for greater riches, war-profiteering a favorite way.
Mass slaughter and destruction enriches them, unspeakable human misery considered a small price to pay.
Here’s the Oxfam infamous 8:

Beyond the infamous 8, the two Koch brothers have a net worth of nearly $80 billion. The world’s billionaire class in total has a staggering net worth of $6.5 trillion.
23 stories up, perched high above the city, Artist Muriel Castanis' "Corporate Goddesses" have looked down on San Francisco for almost 40 years now. Their artist, who died in 2006, is not known to ever have commented on them.
Here's a less common view of them. They've always made me think of the angels in Wim Wenders' Wings of Desire.
Look up the next time you are at the corner of Kearny and California Street.
North Shore, Pittsburgh, completed 1998
You can see reflections of the golden Andy Warhol Bridge and the downtown-area buildings (on the opposite side of the Allegheny River) reflected in the glass. I was standing on the Rachel Carson Bridge. The ivy on the right covers a bridge abutment. This was early in the morning when the sun made the yellow bridges look so bright I had to reduce the saturation to make them look more natural on other photos.
The old Alcoa Building (1953) in Pittsburgh was a rectangular 31-story skyscraper with windows that were reminiscent of rounded-cornered, rectangular portholes. It was designed as a showpiece for the use of aluminum as a building material. Aluminum was used for the skin of the building and for utilities. Because of its light weight, substantial savings were made on the steel frame. That building is now known as the Regional Enterprise Tower.
In 1998, Alcoa moved its corporate center from Downtown Pittsburgh to the North Shore of the Allegheny River. This aluminum and glass facade reflects the city across the Allegheny River in its wave-like structure. Instead of hundreds of private offices, the interior has an open structure to encourage discussions and collaboration.
Looking at this building from the other side of the river, it isn't as impressive-looking as it is from this view. Note that on the far left is PNC Park (baseball stadium.)
Architects:
Exterior - Rusli Associates
Interior - The Design Alliance, which was also contracted to renovate the interior of the 1953 building.
