There seems to be something unique about this site making this project take a lot longer than it normally would for a building of this size
I took this in February when they were in the middle of excavating the site:
I’ve walked by a few times since then, including a few weeks ago, and although active work is going on, it remains below grade. There are a few very large pipes running E-W across the site, I’m wondering if these have something to do with the slow progress.

There are a few people living in that tan colored buildings that have lot-line windows; and they all have fantastic Hudson River views. I don’t think they mind the continued delays of this project. 
My guess is the foundatin work is presenting more challenges than expected: that entire site is land fill. Those “pipes” are there as structural supports for the below grade retaining walls.
That rendering above with the Jeep looks elegant; those curvy walls are an elegant look. 
Further south - but same land fill story…

Looks like the architects gave up after they designed the base…

But it looks well made.
Beautiful windows, fine fabrication and installation.
Vitruvian Triad Time: Utility, Beauty & SOLIDITY (Firmitas)… This one looks like a SOLID product: with precision installation.
Here is an excerpt posted from the link posted above - I am impressed.

“This phase highlights the behind-the-scenes effort: tight site conditions, complex logistics, and careful coordination across teams. One of the most exciting moments?”

BTW. Great post/link by Colrain, fine work on the widows by Intercom facades…
