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. :rofl:

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. :star_struck:

Further south - but same land fill story…

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