Thanks.
Two articles out yesterday have me scratching my head. They both say that 180 E. Water. St. will add (4) more floors in 2020. That would bring the total floors on this u/c structure up to 11 stories. That would be awesome, but unless I really missed something or there was a big redesign that flew under the radar, I think this is wrong. The current renderings all show just 7 stories. The 7th floor was already u/c in 2019, as can be seen in my photos posted yesterday.

A continuing operation is the construction at 180 Water Street. City officials say they will be adding four more floors to that development in 2020. Behind 180 Water is Whiskey Alley which is being completely redesigned this year...

I'd assume that the director for Community Planning & Economic Development Offices knows what she's talking about. But I'm surprised a change this big would not have made headlines.
