The quote you mistake for the NY Post was actually from Crains...(a few pages before this one)

I had read the article on Curbed last November. I assume that their cash infusion correlates to a construction loan. Abu Dhabi has unlimited money, and therefore, could fully fund this project. I doubt that they would invest significant funding in a project while a developer fumbles around for a year or more searching for a traditional bank loan.
