After a stop-work order paused construction last fall, construction has resumed at 19 Park Place, which is now edging above neighboring structures. The site’s developer is ABN Realty, and the architect is Ismael Leyva.
[...]
Recently approved permits indicate slight changes to the development’s composition, and it will also be slightly taller than previously reported. 19 Park Place will now rise 252 feet rather than 232, and the number of units has shrunk from 29 to 24. Both modifications would indicate the site is shifting towards an even higher-end product, with generous ceiling heights and an exclusive feel to the building positioning it at the head of the ‘luxury boutique’ market.
On-site signage gives September of this year as the planned completion date, though that would seem slightly optimistic given the current state of construction; a 2015 target is likely more realistic.

I guess/hope they will repair the side walls of the neighboring buildings. Those exposed walls as they are now, are pretty ugly.
Also, the rendering only shows the right side facade (as seen from across the street) which is mosty window-less. I guess the other facade will have windows? because it would not be sufficient to illuminate the spaces just with the front and rear facades. It is odd they don't show that facade instead of the one they show (supposing it will have windows)

I can't wait till we see some exterior work get done, unfortunately there is a partial stop work order placed on the project (not sure how long these last).
the top is so weird looking . i think that the balconies would have looked better if they were a normal semi circle, not... whatever shape that is. i don't think it looks horrible, just not amazing. are there still setback laws in NYC?
