So now that I have actual photos, and the building(s) is(are) truly under construction looking, I think it's separate thread time for this monster. Just as a quick reminder, here's the only render seemingly ever (thanks curbed):
And here's the outline of the building care of the DOB:
From all of the press releases, it looks like they are starting with the 21 (according to the DOB, now 22) story building on the right (the one the DYCDOH is committed to renting). If that's the case, then the first render is set facing the site from just past the Queensboro Plaza station. From reading the filings, it looks like the basement and first floor are a big chunk of parking. The 22nd floor is mechanical, although not the elevator rooms, as those are listed as being above the 22nd floor.
The various filings for the new building can be found
here.
And here's some photos from Thursday evening:
Crane TBD:
And a photo care of
liqCity from June 4th to gauge progress:
