Look very close at Baronsons photo, they’re tearing up concrete now! Beams are exposed too

Looks like the rooftop penthouses are going.

Is the current building vacant now, or are there still occupied lower floors?

Great pics Baronson!

The current 270 Park is empty other than the demolition workers

Ah, thanks. For some reason I had it in my head there were still occupied floors.

From the latest MTA board materials, this drawing seems to show how the new building’s foundation will thread through the train tracks below.

I love reading the Yimby articles about this building, I get a nice scoop of info on the progress with some great pictures, and then I get to scroll down to the comments and try to see people somehow connect the dots between skyscraper redevelopment and division of class

I do not understand the Nimby’s and the absolute pessimists
