Looking at the date in the lower left corner the whole complex was complete within a year and opened in March of 77. Not blaming Bedrock nor Gilbert for the complete slowdown on the Hudson site. The whole complex would had been completed by now if they had their way

Observing the You Tube video from July 9th indicates they have changed the construction process completely. They are now installing some very large metal type cages around the perimeter of the floor presently under construction.

We have talked about cost and this new process looks more expensive as it requires more skilled trades to build the forms and also a much longer process.
