Third Metropolis Tower?
As of this morning, about one-eighth of the first level of the building's structure has been completed (the base of the complex will be several stories high, and the towers will rise out from this base). So, to answer your question, neither tower is "under construction" yet.
Work started earlier in the week on 77 Hudson Street, with 12 steel I-beams hammered into the ground so far (I'm guessing for the purpose of holding soil in place during excavation of the parking lot). There is a noticeable amount of heavy construction equipment now on the site.
On the JC Economic Development Corp's website, there is a link to a development map. On the map, it shows a third building in the Metropolis towers complex listed as "approved", directly across Christopher Columbus Drive from Columbus Plaza. Does anyone know anything about this project? I couldn't find any info online.
