Nice article. The article mentions "revitalization of three 1970s-era rental towers". These buildings are looking pretty sad, are there any specifics about how they will revitalize them?

The interiors have all been replaced and they tore down the neglected roof gardens opening up st james street. The buildings exteriors are fine, they are not falling apart.

While I'm not a fan of those buildings, but they are better built than a lot of the new crap we're seeing today.

Working on the 10th floor already, this is moving really fast

Didn't realize it was going to be so tall. 58s. Jeebus!

this one is only 43 (its at 14 floors right now) the 58 storey tower will be further north just south of howard st, but connected to the rest of the complex underground.

From bleecker st on May 20 it's going up fast. About 2 floors a week.

Posts regarding the new phase at the north end of the block have been split off into a new thread here. That 58-storey proposal has just gone to the Design Review Panel.
