“Office buildings are our factories – whether for tech, creative or traditional industries we must continue to grow our modern factories to create new jobs,” said United States Senator Chuck Schumer.
Well, have they eliminated the red accent panels or not? Ha!

Work Begins at ODA/HMWhite's "Forest Tower" at 75 Nassau, See New Renderings of the Landscaped Spaces
Quote:
Lexin Capital’s long-awaited residential tower proposed for the Financial District site is showing signs of life. First publicized in 2014, 75 Nassau Street will be a 45-floor rental-condo hybrid designed by the popular firm of ODA New York. Crews of construction workers can now be seen erecting scaffolding, readying the humble huddle of 19th-century buildings for their upcoming rendezvous with the wrecking ball (more like a slow dismantling).
The project site is midblock on Nassau Street between Fulton Street and Maiden Lane, and behind the Fulton Street Transit Center. Nassau is one of our favorite streets in the area because of its narrowness, crookedness, lack of car traffic and ambiance of Bishop’s Crook lampposts and small storefronts. As is the case of many century-old, unprotected low-slung structures in Manhattan, walking away from them runs the risk of them being gone upon your return.
The 307,000-square-foot project will remove five buildings whose ousted tenants include a New York & Company, a coffee shop, and the clothing chain De Janeiro, which has since relocated across the street. According to The Real Deal, the site and air rights were purchased in 2014 for $63.4 million. Since then, most of the buildings have sat vacant with one being demolished.
As a follow up to the above, how it will look in the skyline. Granted older, but not posted here until now. Has a nice impact on it, even at its height.
I just hope they don't let the trees get too tall, i.e. higher than the enclosed top, which IMO they could've made just a bit more decorative to complememt the greenery.
