The building had massive problems and has never been close to being fully occupied. Someone people even left after issues started showing. If memory serves right, there is a lawsuit happening between two parties involved (I feel like one of them was the tenant/former tenants but not 100% sure and this was at least a year ago I heard about this).

Most people who buy units in this building and other buildings like it don't even live there. Many have never set foot inside the building nor do they intend to. These buildings are often constructed tax free because of "affordable" housing loopholes (look into the 421A exemption), some tax loopholes that treat these structures like smaller more affordable rental spaces and subsidies for public works/affordable housing done elsewhere by developers. In short, these condos are used as high liquidity, low maintenance, low taxed places to store wealth, otherwise known as "assets." No different than stock, rare art, automobiles, commodities, etc. The more you look into these structures, the more you'll realize they are bank accounts with high interest returns disguised as homes so who cares if they sway and make noise when they're 60% unoccupied? We need to stop looking at these places as though they follow poor and middle class logic. To a billionaire, this is a perfectly sensible way to keep their wealth stable and safe while they live much more discretely somewhere else.

@michaeljarosz4062 Жыл бұрын
The creaking in Manhattan office towers is not what most people think. As an architect who has 40+ years' tenant fit out experience in NYC, I have encountered and solved this problem. It is caused by the rigid sheets of gypsum drywall (GWB) used in most interior partitions. A GWB partition consists of two tracks, securely fastened to the floor slab and the underside of the overhead slab. Upright metal studs are inserted into the tracks but are only fastened to the floor track. When the building moves in the wind, the studs are free to slide in the upper track. Likewise, the GWB is fastened to the floor track and studs, but not the upper track. For additional flexibility, the top each stud can be wrapped in electrical tape to increase its ability to slide in the track by reducing friction. IF the partition was rigidly attached to the upper track, the rigid GWB would creak and moan due to its inability to move with the building structure. It's an expensive detail but it solves the problem. BTW: Most high-rise structures are engineered to move, just like the wings of an airplane flex. Perfect rigidity is difficult to achieve and would make the construction prohibitively expensive. And then there's movement caused by thermal expansion ................!

The company I worked for in 2014 supplied all the concrete. We pumped 14k(psi) . I know it hard to tell, but that’s white concrete. We had a special silo that had white cement that was added in place of traditional gray Portland cement.
