For a couple of months now, CB Richard Ellis has had a sign at the corner of 12th and Lincoln on Block 042-B promoting “New 170,000 SF Office for Lease.” The site is immediately south of the ING Building which fronts along 13th Avenue between Broadway and Lincoln.

I’ll keep you posted when I learn more about this project.
