Previously occupied by a parking lot, the new high rise will combine with an existing four-story masonry building from the late 19th century. Combined, the project will yield more than 100,000 square feet of ground-level retail, office, and tenant amenity space.

FOBs? I wonder why they didnt go with a digital credential.
This project rose quickly. I can’t remember a building of this size topping out any faster. This was like a throwback to pre-war construction timelines.
Love the factory windows… More please!
