Construction just got started at 50 East 57th Street, the former Drake Hotel site and future home of a Rafael Vinoly-designed tower. But don't get used to it! The site's been issued a partial stop work order, according to the Post, on the grounds that the DOB wasn't notified before excavation began and that a neighboring property wasn't secured. So it might take a while to get to 1,420. [NYP; previously]
