One Main Street's Box Top

What's being built on the top of Dumbo's Clocktower building (first noted here) and is it a coincidence that the neighborhood's Landmark designation hearing is just two weeks away? What's the deal? GMAP

I thought the heights of historic buildings couldn't be altered. Is this legal?

it's an elevator shaft so the purchaser of the clocktower unit can ride their elevator upo and down the 3 floors of the unit. Assuming it ever sells.

I thought the 3 floors of the clocktower portion were split up into 3 separate penthouse units, not 1 combined, multi-floor unit.

Whatever it is, its been up there, in more substantial form, for quite a while. Over the past few weeks, the vertical slats that ran between the top of the roof and bottom of the structure (that you can see in the linked post) and blocked a view through the structure have come down. I can now see the newel post structures on top of the Manhattan Bridge from my apt.

It's an elevator shaft roof! It is one unit with 3 floors.
