Does anyone know when the David Whitney Building will be renovated? It says it's supposed to open next year, and I would assume they would start soon.

I heard 2014.
I've yet to see an article that states they received their final bridge financing after getting the Historical tax credits last December. You can almost always add a couple of years to the construction/completion dates you read.
...I wonder what jobs this will generate beyond the construction element..
If it ends up being a hotel...housekeeping, management staff, security, building engineers, etc. At least 25+ jobs for the hotel component alone.
Anything new here?
We just had a post about this not too long ago.

With the recent success at the Broderick, the Whitneys 108 apartments look like a good bet to be filled.
Also a people mover station will upgraded to allow access to the building.
I hope they secure all financing and begin in the fall!
No problem, I wrote the article I posted above and that is exactly what they told me. Groundbreaking in September for sure, just not a specific date yet.
This business about the PM station is the third time it has been mentioned in the last month. The station already connects to the building - it is just locked since the building is empty. If you peek through the doors from the platform, the turnstyles are still sitting there. That's also why this is the only station w/o elevator access - the elevators are in the building.
Hopefully the part in the building will be at least spruced up, but I'm confused why it is being touted as a 'renovation' or 'upgrade' to allow access to the building.

Do you have any idea how many hotel rooms?
That would be an amazing photo to frame.
Thanks. I have lots of photos from atop the David Whitney Building. Very nice view from up there.

Wow, very nice photos. Are you selling them? Could use a couple of these blown up for my office.
Thanks for the nice compliment cmubryan! I had no intent on selling them, but if there was an interest in them I'm sure a print could be made. I had intended on printing the downtown skyline for my own wall, but that has yet to be forth coming. I have more photos from this project that I'll post up later, thanks again for the interest in them.
