Lead

[edit]
  • There is a public passageway and about 150,000 sq ft (14,000 m2) of retail space at the base. The retail space was originally supposed to be part of a five-story shopping mall that was never opened. I'd consider a semicolon here connecting the two sentences to make it seem a bit less choppy.

Base

[edit]
  • The tenants in the retail space as of 2022 include Disney, Forever 21, Planet Hollywood, and Sunglass Hut. — This conflicts with the information that Planet Hollywood left 1540 Broadway in 2021.

Development

[edit]
  • four movie theaters — would "a four-screen movie theater" make more sense phrase-wise or were four separate theaters planned?

History

[edit]
  • but the negotiations failed in November 1998 and the Random House Tower was built ten blocks uptown — this does need a comma because "the Random House Tower was built ten blocks uptown" is a separate sentence
  • the occupancy rate had dropped to 78 percent within two years and Macklowe had only been able to sign three leases during that time — see above

Other items

[edit]
  • Earwig flags things like book titles, quotes, and common directional formulations like "on the east side of Broadway between 45th and 46th Streets" and "the base of the building". Nothing of concern.
  • References are archived
  • All images are freely licensed. Most images still need alt tags, even if that's just "Refer to caption".

@Epicgenius: Overall, there is not much left to be done, mostly things that you find when someone with a fresh eye comes to review the page and those alt tags. 7-day hold, though the changes will take less than 7 minutes. Ping me when it's ready to go. Sammi Brie (she/her • tc) 05:04, 8 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Sammi Brie, thanks for the review. It took me about twice as long to address all of your comments - all of 15 minutes - but I've now fixed all the issues you brought up. (The alt texts actually took up the vast majority of this time, since I kept rephrasing the alts.) – Epicgenius (talk) 17:46, 8 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Everything looks good. Passing. Sammi Brie (she/her • tc) 18:12, 8 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
