Emporis classifies this as u/c. Can't wait for the foundation to start. I think it's just site prep at the moment.
I'll be in the city memorial day weekend, will try to walk to the site.
The DOB being overran as it is, this building still doesn't have actual construction permits. They do have some permits for work on site though.

One thing I'm concerned about here is the black mesh crown. That could be much darker than anticipated. Overall, although the renderings look great, I'm not so sure on their accuracy with those materials. The glass might be much more opaque and certainly more reflective. Just hope they put a lot of thought into it because there are a lot of ways this could end up looking like a Dubai tacky mess.

At long last, DOB has approved construction permits (issued today!).
Important to note that this building will be 1,127 ft to the roof, the crown rises above that height.
The architectural drawings haven't been updated though...

You have to love Downtown and it's canyons. I'm so glad this tower is rising here.

Downtown Alliance wants NYSE security zone to be more ‘welcoming’ to visitors
June 9, 2017
Quote:
The Alliance doesn’t have any solutions yet for making one of the city’s most iconic instructions more welcoming again, and is placing its trust in XYZ to field proposals that the business group can bring to local stakeholders, and to the city once a plan is formulated.
“This is really the beginning of a process,” said Lappin “We understand that the security perimeter itself is not going to change, so looking at what’s there now, we want to have a discussion into what can be added and removed to make it easier for people, on foot and in cars, or making deliveries to get around.”
Lappin’s group is also mindful of numerous development projects in the area, including construction at 20 and 45 Broad Street, and 23 Wall Street, and aims to have a plan in place in 2018, before those project wrap up.
We'll see...

CetraRuddy takes 23K sf at Rudin and Allianz’s One Battery Park Plaza
Architecture firm is relocating its headquarters from Soho

Architecture and design firm CetraRuddy is relocating from its longtime office in Soho to the Financial District.
The company, perhaps best known for designing the One Madison condo building in the Flatiron District, signed an 11-year lease at Rudin Managements and Allianz Real Estate of America’s One Battery Park Plaza, the Wall Street Journal reported.
“When we moved to Soho 30 years ago it was the new frontier,” company co-founder and principal Nancy Ruddy wrote in an email. “And we’re glad to move to New York City’s growing nexus of pioneering design ideas.”

Up until last month, there hadn't been a lot of news to report on the status of the proposed supertall at 45 Broad Street in Lower Manhattan. Numerous photos in our Forum chronicled the story, or lack thereof, of a site remaining idle for many months. But a joint venture comprised of Madison Equities, Chinese real estate company Gemdale, and Italian real estate firm Pizzarotti Group recently celebrated the start of the 340-metre-tall tower's construction.
“Office buildings are our factories – whether for tech, creative or traditional industries we must continue to grow our modern factories to create new jobs,” said United States Senator Chuck Schumer.

Could an editor update the diagram photo (SkyscraperPage Database) with the new rendering? The last render in post #291 would be a nice pick IMO.
One shown currently is what we are grateful didn't happen. Lets not forget that this design could of been total rubbish had the original design gone though. We lucked out!
If we recall:
But anyways, this one would be nice as a pic. Just shrunken down and used as the main thread image.
Madison Equities secures $56M refi for FiDi supertall project
HSBC Bank is the lender on 45 Broad
By Miriam Hall

Robert Gladstone’s Madison Equities landed $56 million in refinancing for its 84-story condominium tower at 45 Broad Street in the Financial District, according to records filed with the city Tuesday.
HSBC Bank is the lender, documents show, and the mortgage replaces a $55 million loan from Mack Real Estate Strategies.
The building at 45 Broad Street, currently under construction, is Gladstone’s most ambitious and challenging project to date. The project is being developed with Italian real estate company Pizzarotti Group and will feature 206 condo units, most of which will be priced at $4 million and cheaper. Last year, one of China’s largest developers — Gemdale Properties and Investment — paid $69.9 million for an 81.3 percent stake in the project.
Several New York City developers told The Real Deal earlier this year that they passed on the site because it didn’t pencil out as a condo.
Gladstone and his partners had been reportedly looking for a $287 million loan for the project, but sources recently told TRD that Gladstone is waiting on a subway improvement bonus that could expand the total size of the project before seeking a senior loan.
