599 vanderbilt under construction after nearly a decade

something new is coming - 599 vanderbilt (in between inaka and white tiger) put up construction boards on the retail space a few days ago. formerly los viejos amigos, it closed in 2009 and has been sitting vacant ever since then. perhaps whynot can do his signature sleuthing and find out what is coming to that retail space?

Residential upgrades for sure, based on a sketch on the boards I saw today. I've been hoping for a butcher for years.
