The $350M Loan from Wells Fargo was actually already part of a financial backing deal from 2017, it just wasn’t awarded until then as a secondary rehab construction loan. So as far as that goes, I don’t think it had any connection to Blackrock’s contract, I’m not aware that there were any stipulations that their portion of the building had to be completed by X date since they signed in 2016 that they would be moving to this building. I think Related just wanted to fit out floors in succession/as they were completed instead of waiting for the whole building to be complete, which is very normal.

I thought I would see signs of the hoist coming down but nothing major besides the lower half being disconnected from the building. The building “officially” opened in December and now it’s April.

I love the crown lighting on this one

That is such a beautiful shot! Really cool the way the sloped surfaces and louvres interact with the lighting, on such an outwardly boxy crown.

Thanks @ThreeWentDown 
I really like how the lighting turned out, but I still think I would’ve liked the initial crown iteration more.

I agree I like the original crown although it looked more Miami-ish. But this is a very quality lighting mechanism and does present well from a distance.

The construction elevator is coming down.

Yes! I forgot to mention that, I took a really crappy photo from a ways away on Sunday. A lot of the fencing and safety barriers had already been removed to it’s really just the structure itself that needs to be removed, so it should be gone relatively quickly.

It’s really only gone down 3 floors since its been clear of the parapet and top mech floor for several weeks now.
