The new entrance to the Capital and the Rialto
The old buildings that remain abondoned
The entryway restored and as mentioned on the tour, gives the impression of being in the entrance of an old cruisehip. Infact, being within the two buildings felt like being on a large luxury liner between the long halls and all the crazy amenities.
The old theater that still requires restoration.
The gym
The indoor pool
The original marble walls and terrazo floors
The billiards room
The future outdoor public area
A sample of the work gone into the restoration of the walls and ceilings.
A library open to all residents
The poker room which used to be Frank Hagues old office within the hospital
The view to the north of Journal Square
The view to the east of Manhattan
and of downtown
The view to the south
The future plans for the garage and public area with landscaping which is apparently to begin construction next summer.
A model bedroom...
...and kitchen...
and living room
The model of the site when the project is entirely complete
The existing parking lot will be made way for a new public area which hopefully will be available to all of the neighborhood (though some of that may depend if The Montgomery Gardens still remains at that time or not).

Great post! Excellent shots as well!
*two thumbs-up*
Is it safe to assume the "abandoned" buildings are owned by the Beacon people, who will probably develop it after the first one is a success?
yes, the whole complex except for the building that actually has an entrance off the sidewalk on montgomery are all owned by beacon and are being completed in phases for obvious financial reasons. after the garage/town square area is complete, i believe they will begin to work on the next two buildings.
When you said the open space may or may not be open to the public, did you mean the Town Center? I can't imagine them closing off the retail and supermarket to the rest of the neighborhood!
