There is no second floor - unless they are building one?

I read the same permit as everyone else; I will leave interpretation and analysis to others!

The MEP and Lighting Driver rooms for the anchor retail tenant are on the second level of the south podium.There is no second floor - unless they are building one?

These stairs/elevator go down to the concourse level below.HOW DO YOU KNOW?
The blueprints explicitly state that the anchor tenant has their own design team. Whatever Apple has plans for, are not a part of the building construction and therefore not included in these blueprints or permits which will be submitted and obtained separately as have been with their previous stores.
Nor you, nor I have access to Apple's plans. We can only go by Apple's own design precedents and hints from what was left by Mizrahi's team for Apple's. There are data risers going to the "third floor". For what? They're going to hang a display up there, 2 stories above people's heads? Precedent shows that their displays are mounted at floor level for Today At Apple presentations. If there is no floor up there what do you propose the data risers are for?
Unless you're prepared to share what source is giving you such certainty, then expect speculation to continue based on what is known and what we can see in existing blueprints and the built form.
A link would've been helpful. This Application # is not coming up.
Based on most Apple flagships (and I can speak with some authority having worked there for many years), there is usually a business "boardroom" which I could see being put in the heritage structure.Apple is also taking the second floor of the adjacent heritage building which further adds to speculation that they'll have a platform or otherwise second floor space open to the main retail floor.
Small point, but could we stop calling the possible intermediate space, a platform. How about using a time-honoured term like 'mezzanine' (A mezzanine floor is an intermediate floor which is built between two main floors or the floor and ceiling of a building. ...)Apple is also taking the second floor of the adjacent heritage building which further adds to speculation that they'll have a platform or otherwise second floor space open to the main retail floor.
Placeholder to do go down from the first level to the concourse.

If I may, I dont see the problem with this discussion. It's certainly not off topic, and while I do understand going around in circles is fruitless I dont understand why discussing what the retail space for the anchor tenant will look like is both off limits and contentious.Enough. No more.
