••• “A commercial for the coming-soon rental tower [Beekman Tower a.k.a. 8 Spruce Street a.k.a. New York by Gehry] has been rolling before flicks at the Regal Union Square movie theater, a shorter version of the video seen on the building’s new website.” Someone recently said it a comment somewhere (Curbed, most likely) that the building is one of the few that people stop and take photos of, which is so true. But every time I imagine having all those little ledges outside my windows, two things come to mind: pigeons and grime. (Curbed, which has the video)

••• Gothamist got access to 5 Beekman, which I thought we were calling Temple Court? Funny comment: “5 Beekman is a lot like your sister, everyone’s been inside and posted pictures on a blog.” You must be thinking of my mother…? (Mom, if you’re reading this, that was a joke!!!)

Sources familiar with the Port Authority’s fast-rising tower said the likelihood of the state Offices of General Services going through with a long-discussed lease there are increasingly remote.” (New York Post)

••• More on the building planned for 180 Broadway (at John), which will be home to a Pace dorm. Looks like it belongs near Penn Station…. (Crain’s)
