Yeah I’m overthinking it. Just noticed the sky gardens on the two different design proposals. ---

All of the buildings are in some form of demo as of yesterday. 155 is completely gone and has an excavator on site. I peeked into a few others and they seem mostly gutted at this point. They will all be down soon. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/yimby/original/3X/b/f/bf6cbe4d17ed1da4399549abb1257e103363e1aa.jpg) ---

Great update, JC. I was looking on Kuafu’s website this morn. Presumably, the filthy building on Lex with the Cohen’s Optical and other crap is still fully occupied. It will be a msssive shame if Kuafu doesn’t get that corner property. ---

Thanks. The Cohens was open last night when i walked by. It would be nice if kaufu got that one too but it doesnt look like he will at this point. ---

I agree. The owner is an idiot. He’s probably seeking to Shylock the developer. In the end, he will be landlocked with a crappy building. ---

Great photos, but it will suck if the schmuck that owns the Cohen’s building doesn’t sell. That filthy eyesore looks horrible. ---
