A few projects on the site carry a "Photo Pending" tag instead of a photograph. In every case the job itself is real and ERP-verified — there simply isn't a correctly-identified photo of that specific building available yet under an open license we can legally publish. We'd rather show no photo than the wrong one.
| Project | Reason |
|---|---|
| InnoLabs · Long Island City | No photo of this specific building (45-18 Court Square) has been published under an open license on Wikimedia Commons yet. |
| Ritz-Carlton · NoMad | Opened 2022 — too recently completed for an open-license photo to have been published yet. |
| Kimpton Era · Rockefeller Center | Opened 2025/2026 — too recently completed for an open-license photo to have been published yet. |
| NYCFC Stadium · Etihad Park | Under construction — opens 2027. There is no building to photograph yet. |
