Finishing touches have continued to move along since our last update (https://newyorkyimby.com/2022/12/ramsas-200-east-83rd-street-wrapping-up-construction-on-manhattans-upper-east-side.html) in December, when the final limestone façade panels had recently finished enclosing the tower. Work has now shifted to the installation of the double-height windows in the arched voids around the midpoint of the building, with only a few on the eastern elevation still awaiting completion. Additional dark metal railings have also been added along the balconies since our last visit.

Additional floor-to-ceiling windows were also installed around the crown of 200 East 83rd Street, and the construction elevator was completely disassembled from the western side of the superstructure.
