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 temporarily blocked by a New York Supreme Court judge in late February 2020, but then unblocked by a full New York Supreme Court panel of judges in August 2020, and their decision in favor of the development was then upheld by the New York Court of Appeals in April 2021.[12][13][14]
