When EW reported on the project in October 2019, VT work was roughly 5% complete.

The VT system includes 25 new elevators and involves subcontractors such as Mongrain Vertical Transport, Inc.; H&B Elevators; EDI/ECI; The Peelle Co.; Universal Supply, Inc.; and National Elevator Cab & Door Corp. New York YIMBY previously reported that One Wall Street’s 566 residences and a Whole Foods Market were expected to open by the end of 2021.
