No legitimate developer would have gym selfies & photos where they brag about wealth. At least not in NYC. Developers here tend to be very private individuals, and with every reason -- they have enough bad PR to deal with just for existing, as people tend to hate them. Those photos would be ample fuel to any fire.

In NYC there is no legal requirement to offer any of this to the public. You often don't know a building's height/floors until completion has ended, because building filings can change up until certificate of occupancy is granted.
And renderings aren't required at any stage of the process.

This is partially incorrect. I do believe the DOB now requires renderings/drawings to be posted on sites within a certain timeframe of construction beginning. The change has been recent, but the results have been very beneficial to transparency.
