They stole 'em.

They have stared excavation for the foundation. Pavarini-McGovern is the C/M

DOB NB permit has been issued. From watching other projects, my guess is that the general timeline should go something like this:

- Excavation to June '08
- Foundation completed December '08
- Topping out September '09
- Completion March 2010

Foundation work continues, I guess. The hole is pretty deep.

Other than the ESB (which is quite setback from 5th), this will be the avenue's tallest building south of 42nd.
It'll be just taller than 425 Fifth.

Nice building! Anything new at this construction site?

I urge you to be patient. Although I share your excitement over this project, new information is posted to the threads as it is learned. Pictures depend on Forum Members going out and snapping the shots.

Please refrain from bumping threads up. Like you, we all want new info. Seeing this hit the top of thread list would indicate there actually is new info. You can see how it works against us.

New reports will come in - I guarantee it.

Welcome to the forum!

While other sites across the city have slowed down or even stopped altogether, this site is humming with activity...

The new building and 425 Fifth are classy. 425 has turned my head. There has got to be a nice photo with the two of them in it once it's done.

The fewer pictures of 425 Fifth the better

I like this building, a sigh of relief that it still moving forward.

A rendering of 400 5th on Gwatmey-Siegal's website (http://www.gwathmey-siegel.com/portf...?job_id=200604) shows the arches in the beautiful building to the south restored. It would be nice if that happens some time. The owner of this great old structure should be castrated for his desecration of this gem.
