Development of the building was halted in July 2016 due to a lawsuit pertaining to a site adjacent the structure.[7][8] In July 2018, the developers released a new plan that would also contain several improvements to the surrounding area, including a new entrance to the New York City Subway's East Broadway station, connections between Clinton Street and the East River, renovations of nearby playgrounds, and flood-resistance upgrades.[9] The city's Planning Commission also scheduled a vote on the project.[10] Although politicians and grassroots organizations opposed the project, the City Planning Commission approved it in December 2018.[11] The developments were blocked by a New York Supreme Court judge in late February 2020.[12]
