“Waterman Interests and HPS Investment Partners, owners of the mostly vacant, 605,000 square-foot Midcentury tower between East 51st and 52nd streets, signed a big-league restaurant even as work continues apace to re-launch the refreshed property by the end of the year.”
SINGLE SOURCE
The claim about signing a big-league restaurant and relaunching by year-end is not directly corroborated by multiple independent sources. While multiple sources discuss the redevelopment of 850 Third Ave, the specific detail of signing a 'big-league restaurant' and the 'by the end of the year' timeline is not confirmed by more than one source type (web search mentions redevelopment, but not this specific tenant/timeline combination).
