Re: Izzy's Ice Cream Factory

Yep the building sold back in late summer of 2020, as far as I know it has not been sold again? There is still signage on the building saying it is available for lease.

I wish the upper level set backs were better illuminated. Would better show off the architecture at night.
I agree, I thought they would at least have that much of it illuminated.

Me too! A few months ago there were some lights going occasionally but it was only part of the crown and honestly pretty boring. Hopefully the final lighting is much more elaborate. Here is a short video of what it looked like then: https://youtu.be/-md9Po0cmHs

I never even considered that they dont plan to add more lighting, it would be pretty silly if they dont!

Re: Eleven - 1111 West River Parkway - 41 stories / 550'

I biked by a couple weeks ago, and the floor numbers painted on the doors for the construction elevator went up to 38, and there were a few floors poured above it. Gotta be close.
The topping out ceremony was yesterday afternoon. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K6qCSiYZ_7M
