Window installation is underway at232 East 54thStreet, a topped-out residential building inMidtown East. Designed by Ismael Leyva Architects, the extruded square-shaped, reinforced concrete structure rises 420 feet tall and features asimple grid of windows on all four sides. Elk Investors was listed as the exclusive developer of the building, though ownership may have fully transferred to Mossanen Group and an LLC known as East 54th St. Properties, as per YIMBYs previous updates on the construction site.

Photos show the state of construction and the progress of the installation of the large windows. Meanwhile, more work on the crown has been completed since YIMBYs last update in August 2019.
