I also have my doubts about these Mavrix group guys but let's see what happens. A bit off topic but according to this article, there is another tower coming just down the block at 56 Fulton.

Just how rock ’n’ roll is this neighborhood? So rock ’n’ roll that when Scott Aaron, principal at Socius Development Group, and his partners decided to develop a 23-story 80/20 rental at 56 Fulton he told his interior designer (Andres Escobar) to think of “a ’70s, ’80s downtown rock scene: Basquiat, Blondie, CBGB — that kind of downtown scene . . . make it a look back to New York 20, 30 years ago.”
or a city in the throes of “American Hustle” fever, this is an intriguing concept.
The 120 unit building will be a mixture of studios, one- and two-bedrooms and include a “funky” residents’ club and 6,000 square feet of retail. “They’ll be good sized apartments,” Aaron says.
Ground will be broken on the site (now an eight-story outdoor parking garage) this summer — the building should be finished in early 2016.
