The Bauhouse Group took control of three neighboring low-rise buildings on East 58th Street in January 2015, and in March it added a fourth with 100,000 square feet of air rights. That August it paid $37.9 million for a further 109,000 square feet of air rights. The firm planned a Foster and Partners tower about 1,000 feet tall.

The Bauhouse Group had been assembling adjoining East 58th Street lots since January 2015 for a condominium tower by Foster and Partners. Residents of neighboring 434 East 58th Street, who had sold their air rights for $11 million after hearing the building would run 13 to 30 stories, learned in July that the plan called for about 90 stories and roughly 1,000 feet. A Bauhouse spokesperson said the building had grown in size as the site assembly continued.

The East River Fifties Alliance sues to stop construction of the 800-foot tower
In a suit reported on August 30, 2018, the East River Fifties Alliance argued that the Board of Standards and Appeals improperly gave developer Gamma six extra months to finish its foundation and stay under the old zoning. It alleged the board did no independent review and asked a judge to halt construction. The group had earlier called the 800-foot tower a monstrous, out-of-place megatower.

A neighborhood rezoning fight halts construction, then lets it resume
Opposition to the supertall pushed the city to rezone the surrounding blocks, and the Council approved the rezoning in November 2017, with a 260-foot height limit for much of the area. Work stopped by the end of the year, when the foundation was nearly complete. Gamma Real Estate won approval from the Board of Standards and Appeals in June 2018, and construction resumed even as opponents kept trying to halt the project.
