TRIBECA?Ah, the "urban jungle." A special Curbed correspondent checks in on 101 Warren Street and finds a crane outside ready to hoist trees to the roof. He reports that there are "no trees to be seen, but clearly the crane is for hoisting them onto the third floor, where that orange mesh is. "101 mature white pine trees" are destined to go on that 35,000-square-foot roof. They will be "rooted in about six feet of topsoil that was delivered in November, along with riverbed stone and about 300 shrubs." The upcoming Tribeca Whole Foods is part of the $450 million complex. [CurbedWire Inbox]

Our 24-hour tip line will be accepting intel and/or photos on that one, friends. [CurbedWire Inbox]
