14 DAY TRIAL // The flagship Apple Retail Store in Manhattan, New York City, has been fully renovated, and workers have finally pulled the tarp off the 15 seamless slabs of glass that make up the impressive cube structure.
Previously comprised of 90 pieces of glass held together by hardware, the new cube now uses fewer glass panes, giving it a cleaner, more elusive look.
The Fifth Ave. store is one of the most visited locations in NYC, and it’s one of Steve Jobs’ personal projects. Unfortunately, the late Apple co-founder never got to see it finished, after giving the order to have the cube remodeled.
According to MacRumors, Apple also upgraded the entire plaza where the store is located. The company ordered workers to install new water drains and pavers, and had the small surrounding bollards removed.
The store is set to open its doors to customers at 10:00 a.m.
