Manhatten Store to Have Glass Spiral Staircase

Musings of a VC in NYC reports that the building permit posted on the new Apple Store location in Manhatten references a "large glass circular stair".

As I was walking past the sidewalk permits, something caught my eye and I stopped to shoot a photo of one of the permits with my blackberry curve. As I was taking the photo, the construction site boss came out and started glaring at me. He asked me, "What are you doing and who are you?" I told him I was Fred Wilson and I was taking a photo of the sidewalk permit. I mentioned that it is a public permit and that it was there to inform the public about what was going on there. He just stood there staring at me and I checked my photo to make sure I got what I wanted and then headed on.

The thing that caught my eye was the permit for a "large glass circular stair".


Apple has used this glass staircase with much success in both Japan and Scotland.
