Taken 6/12. Hotel has reached full height and they are finishing up the facade now. Also they have started to move some earth near the pilings that were places over a month ago for the 2nd tower. Hopefully construction will start soon. I still dont love the look of these towers or the hotel but it is decent filler. ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/yimby/original/2X/0/02908e1507780e49c3c3985b8761801f2fe977ef.jpeg) ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/yimby/original/2X/4/49ee9a938a1987b437195c4888477ad2ec095a63.jpeg) ---

Today Not much progress on the hotel facade.

10/19 Lots of progress since last time but no action yesterday. Im wondering if this, 99 hudson, and the next stage of morgan all need to get inspected and new permits for the superstructures before they can proceed at this point? They were all quiet yesterday and all look like they are ready to go vertical at the same time. Which will make jc even more exciting to watch in the near future. ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/yimby/original/2X/9/90ebc457f5e0a8c3123d9e38d5b8c5638622b845.jpeg) ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/yimby/original/2X/3/34b1d0006d91eb16e415e029add810073843785c.jpeg) ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/yimby/original/2X/c/cd6553b5eda0292430ee35d0c0a179ebb4e220d6.jpeg) ---
