I suspect that they don't want to put too much money into this because perhaps they plan to raze the tower in twenty years.

They stated above exactly what they’re doing, which fits the renderings. It would be nicer if they did the entire building.

First, you will see the Park Avenue entry of the building with an over cloud facade and an extensively upgraded and enhanced public plaza on the avenue.

We are only over cladding the facade on Park and extending the overcloud returns on 46 and 47 to 4 base. As we walk into the Park Avenue entry, you will notice a bright and sophisticated lobby, which will feature never before seen lit connectivity between the Park and [ Lexington ] entrances.

The rooftop space, as they mentioned earlier, could be opened to the public. They want to use it as an additional source of income. It would be nice if it is, you can never have too many views of this iconic skyline.
