They have completely changed that building over the past two years. It used to be a dark brick exterior with unusually-spaced narrow windows. Basically, they kept the steel frame and changed everything else.
I went on a job interview there in 2016 for Chase bank. Did not get the job, but they were nice.

Here is a little something about congestion pricing.
I shot this video today, Friday, at 5:30 pm here.
On a “normal” Friday at 5:30, before congestion pricing, this intersection was a literal gridlock of cars and busses. Traffic comes north on State Street, south on Broadway, and they both try to get on Battery Place. This is one of the standard routes into the Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel. And then more traffic would continue south on State Street eventually getting on the Brooklyn Bridge. It was a mess.
Look at it now. This is what Republicans are fighting against.

Here is another Congestion Pricing video, shot here.
This was taken today, a Sunday, at 3:20 pm. Sure, it’s a Sunday, but still it feels like the traffic is 1/3 less than usual.
I spotted this a couple of weeks ago, but now got a picture of it.
