Nice size project:

The building occupies a portion of a block and is 523,000 gross square feet and includes an adjacent parking structure. It is a steel frame building of nine stories including basement and access tunnel extending under Broadway. The building has been abated of hazardous material with the exception of transite wall panels left in place to maintain building closure.
