Is the bean on its way? LOL, taking longer to assemble this bean that build the frigginâ tower
If itâs taking this long, do you think theyâre not going to put it in. I would think itâd be in by now
I work nearby. Every time Iâve asked about the bean, Iâm told by one of the doormen that is it supposed to be installed in a few months. Promises, promises. I have no idea whatâs going. And I donât know anyone who does.
Well I cannot find it now but Tribeca Citizen had a post months (now maybe even years ago haha) that included a comment from someone in the know about what it took to complete the bean including the shiny finish. Surprisingly complicated.
Correct. But you are right that the article was many moons ago and the installation time promised that piece has long since passed.
no sign of the bean as yet
I spoke to a couple of guys outside the building who said that a few days ago some workers with âfancy looking equipmentâ were taking measurements and made some of the marks on the ground.
Looks very promising!
Wow I was beginning to think they werenât actually going to do this
Someone showed me Airbnb listings in 56 Leonard the other day going for around $1,200 a night. I wonder if in buildings like this the owners have to get the doormen in on the deal to make sure they donât get reported? I could see some owners in 56 Leonard not being happy that their building is an Airbnb.
In looking at the markings on the pavement I realized this thing is going to be huge. Itâs hard to imagine how big the volume will be.
Any updates on the bean? LOL
Still just pavement marks when I recently checked again.
