"The building also contains emergency power generators.[33]"- not impressed by sourcing for this. The source turns out to essentially be a "look what we did!" page. I'd recommend excluding this information unless an uninvolved source demonstrates the significance of this by mentioning it
"The building also received a municipal tax abatement that lowered its tax bill by several million dollars" - any specific rationale for the abatement? (I deal with abatements sometimes at work)
Basically, it was part of the
Industrial and Commercial Incentive Program. Developers of industrial and commercial buildings in NYC (except those on the East Side of Manhattan and in Lower Manhattan) were eligible for the abatement, provided that their project fulfilled a set of criteria. It was meant to encourage development of industrial and commercial structures in these parts of the city. Developers on the West Side of Manhattan south of 96th Street didn't have to pay back the waived for 11 years, and other developers didn't have to pay back anything at all.

"The law firm spent $4.5 million in 1996 to upgrade it equipment in 1585 Broadway" - is this a typo for "its" or should this be capitalized for the acronym IT?
Is Morgan Stanley still trying to get out of the building?
I heard that Morgan Stanley is staying in the building for the time being, but unfortunately there is no reliable source for this.

Is Skyscraper page RS? It looks like its diagrams are commonly used, but it appears to be being cited for non-diagram information?
