The site is even ready -- from what I've seen.

Funding isn't fully in place for Phase 1. They had some piece of mezzanine loan I believe, but not full financing.

That said, there's a retail entry 11'-6" to 12' below.

So between 513'-4" and 513'-10" if I'm doing my math correctly. We'll see where the building is officially measured from.

Wouldn't that negate the 12' elevation altogether from the height? I'm seeing 489' 10" from the retail entrance to the top of the mechanical penthouse. . . or is my math fucked up here???

It looks that way but not sure, if so, it unfortunately falls 1 meter short of the official skyscraper threshold.


It does say 501' building height (which would exclude elevation I think) so maybe not tough. It's a bit confusing.
