There's a prominent and impressive lobby-plus-canopy at the East Tower of the two-tower 595 Dean complex. It just happens to support the Chelsea Piers fitness center, not the building's residents.
As I wrote in April, while in an alternative plan for the complex it might've been plausible to demarcate the building's entry with a canopy, in this case the interests of the commercial tenant take precedence.
And that was a giveaway from the public authority, Empire State Development, that has the contradictory role of overseeing and shepherding the project.
