The development, to be designed by architecture firm Goldstein Hill & West, will cost $875 million to build, New York YIMBY reported.

The developers announced their partnership in June. Tenants would begin to move in to at least one of the towers by 2017, as previously reported. [NY YIMBY]Mark Maurer
