Developers & Carnivals: 170 East End Ave
A: I took a stroll past the new development at 170 East End Avenue (between 87th & 88th Streets) this afternoon, to see how the Peter Marino project is going thus far, and noticed a carnival setting up on the Promenade. Sno cones, Cotton Candy, Games, and a concert stage is being set up on the East side near 86th street. Rumor has it that the whole bash is being thrown by the backers of the 170 East End Avenue new development, to draw attention to the project, the newly renovated Carl Schurz park and the family oriented atmosphere of this neighborhood.
Frist off, here is a pic of the concert stage being tested out by an unidentified band (I lost battery power and couldn't take pic of makeshift carnival setting up on promenade):

Second, here is a look at the building status as of today:

...and the poster showing a conceptual drawing of the finished building:

Certainly an interesting marketing tactic should this rumor turn out to be true. Here are some listings from 170 East End Ave currently on the market:
