Building is saying hey don’t forget about me!

It’s jarring seeing what looks like an art deco building under construction today. But it’s a fantastic design, and even though it’s just over 1,000 feet it’s a great addition. Great job KPF

Only in New York City is “even though it’s only over just a 1,000 feet” seen as discouraging. No other city like it.

First time in a while I sense a general consensus that a building is a really good piece of architecture. I’ll add to the applause.

Another banger by KPF and Von Klemperer, it sort of complements their nearby One Vanderbilt in a blocky way.

- it’s also very fitting to the buildings around it and their setbacks. Great one.

Yes it’s a great counterpart to 500 Fifth Ave which is also Art Deco by the same architects as the ESB. It’s super contextual in its design.

June 2026 I believe
Some sources suggest that phased occupancy begins this year (but the full completion is in 2026)

How will they do window washing?
By a BMU, the BMU just hasn’t been installed yet.

If I’m not mistaken, R&R Scaffold already installed their BMU on the roof. That’s what they told me. When I was there in April, it had not been installed yet.
