Looks like a change of plans. 2 towers which look just as tall.

I can confirm that this project is in full swing. Excavation work is being done currently. I have no photos. Also, the area right between third avenue bridge and Willis avenue bridge will see more development of new buildings and it looks like nycfc’s stadium might be built there as well. This is a huge improvement for the area!

> Cheskel Schwimmer’s Williamsburg-based CGS Developers closed on a $75 million construction loan from S3 Capital Partners for the pair of rental towers spanning 237 units he’s developing at 210 East 135th Street, the lender told The Real Deal.
