As far as I can tell, all but the monster unit on the 105th floor are for sale - no holding back of units.

They’ve deep pockets: perhaps alone of builders, they don’t need to go to the banks for financing.

Really lovely photos!

I imagine that will be the address of the building which replaces the Star building
