In fact, even if you didn’t know that, and spent just a little time on this forum, it’s something you should know already.

The article is relevant because a week later Blackstone claim they still want to push ahead with the project. All these dates are irrelevant as the city and the world is facing an ongoing crisis. So a start date of 2023 is horse shit.
After what he said last week would have dented confidence so another 'puff piece' was required a week later.
Google has said it's keeping staff at home until July 2021 at the earliest. Therefore, Hudson Yards having already lost it's mall anchor tenant is not going to best pleased. Add the massive lost of tourism and less hotels stays a year on the over rated, over priced Hudson Yards is not looking so good.
So. Why can't you get it into your thick skull??!!! New York City et all is never going to be the same again. THIS is the new normal. Who in their right mind is going to bankroll something like this and many of the other projects. There is too much risk involved in the biggest crisis the city has faced since the 1930's.
A crisis the city will never fully recover from and to do so will need to evolve in terms of office space.
