Hard to get a good angle of this. I think the best angle is on the 7 train before entering Court Sq. It’s very close to the train.

12/1 Looks like the first setback is taking shape, so the main tower should be popping up soon.

I’m excited to see how this new subway entrance turns out too:
About $16 million has been committed for a new entrance to the Court Square subway station, which serves the E, M, G, and 7 lines, at the base of the building.

It would really help the flow of passengers if they were able to open an entrance to the 7 at the northern end that connected to the E/M. This would help with station distribution and an easier transfer. Citi helped to make the connection possible at the southern end. I was hoping they would do the same here.
