If they're digging, construction is starting. Site cleanup wrapped last summer. How's it going with the foundations on the 6th EC building? They were pretty dug out the last time I was over there. This whole area is going to be a wrap in the next few years. Unbelievable to see an entire neighborhood spring up before our very eyes.

Carlos, no pressure, but what's up with the 6th tower? They were pretty far along with the foundations the last time I was over there, and that was a while ago. Also, if you have more time than me, care to check progress on Rockrose's 40 story tower over on Crescent across the street from Citi? It's almost assuredly above ground as well.

Oh it most certainly did...



But I haven;t been over there since then (8/22), so I was politely, but selfishly, begging for an update.

That's a really fantastic neighborhood. You've got all the great restaurants, bars, and shops of Vernon Blvd just a block away and great access to Midtown.

Shimmer on the Waterfront



By ROBBIE WHELAN
October 24, 2011

Quote:
Venturing northward from the Vernon Boulevard subway station in Queens toward the Hunters Point waterfront takes the walker through a dramatic range of urban textures.

One minute you're on what looks like a small-town main street, with shops and restaurants. The next, you're in a sleepy district of low-rise residential buildings and squalid factories. Then, suddenly, the East River approaches, and you're surrounded by strapping, aquatic-hued high-rise towers with glassy exteriors and hundreds of balconies. Suddenly, it's Miami Beach.

The $1 billion-plus East Coast project, a massive, 7-building residential complex that has been two decades in the making, is just past half-done. TF Cornerstone, a development firm run by the Elghanayan brothers, K. Thomas and Frederick, has built two rental towers, a condo building called the View, and a load of infrastructure including eight acres of park space and a public waterfront promenade.

Which one of these is going up? Is it the one on the far left of the rendering?

Yes. This is the far left one. The final tower to be built will be the one tucked in behind the pepsi sign. It's currently a field of field office trailers.

Is the DOT planning on restoring that cobblestone street in that last picture?

Awesome progress. This should grab outsider attention of NYC out of just Manhattan.
