I'd been wondering what the deal with that place is. There was some concrete delivered outside of it and moved recently but I haven't seen any actual work in forever

I've been meaning to ask if anyone knew what the story was about this thing too! I can't believe it has sat there this long dripping chunks off the facade. Is there a years long legal battle for possession?
It would be interesting to try to figure out just exactly where they are as an investment. Assuming 1 owner and borrowed money, the property has appreciated certainly more than the taxes paid but a lot depends on what rate the money for construction was borrowed.

I walk by this every single morning. Always wondered how long an abandoned property can remain in such a state in this city. Seems as if there is no recourse. As a resident you just have to deal with it

Sounds like you are afraid of confrontation. In order to get this issue solved, you need to get over that fear first. Then you mark your driveway and tow the car every time it is blocking you. Unfortunately, some people take your whole arm when you offer them a hand. I had a similar issue a while back. One of our neighbors would work on his car in MY driveway lol. The driveway has gates but i would leave it open because I was to lazy to open and close it every time i moved my car lol He would do it while i was at work so we never noticed. We only found out when my wife stopped working (due to the birth of our daughter) and caught him. I tried being nice about it but he pretty much told me to go F myself since he felt he can use it since no one was home. So after that i always shut the gate. People will walk over you if you let them.

Really? In NYC the procedure is to first have the police come and ticket the driver for blocking a driveway (which is state law). After there is a ticket on the vehicle, you can then call a tow truck to take it away and they are happy to make $$$$ and do so.

That price point doesn’t exist downtown.

The thing has been under construction for like 8 years and now has "bricks" falling off the facade. What's the deal with this thing?

I think it's a very art-deco looking building and probably would be my dream place to live if I was a millionaire. I like being up high and having a great view.

Looking back at architectural history, 99 is nothing compared to the Empire State Building. There is nothing that anchors it in any notable epoch nor does it use any novel construction techniques or have any notable design features.
“Tallest residential building outside NYC and Chi” is like saying a Honda is the fastest car outside of a Porsche or AMG.
The building was financed and developed by a foreign investment company as an investment vehicle for foreign investors and the developer has been targeted in lawsuits for misrepresenting unit sizes up to 10%.
The facade is also freakin ugly. It abruptly switches from limestone to glass, they could’ve at least toothed the two materials together so the limestone appears to dissolve into the glass, but they didn’t.
That being said, the scale model is sick per my above comments.

You cannot call a private towing company to tow someone blocking your driveway unless their vehicle is physically on your (private) property. If they're in the street, the towing company has to be engaged by PA. Source: me, I've tried calling a tow company direct because parking authority sucks.

Not a lot happening there recently. I've been watching it for years hoping to see it finished.

I agree. But why not rent or buy a place for $2,500 a month that’s twice as big a unit in Haus25?

Yup, Offerup is also great. I've sold lots of stuff on there.
You can also try Mercari, though I've noticed that one is best for technology related items
