A fact from BellTel Lofts appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 1 July 2023 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that 81 and 101 Willoughby Street were described as being one city block apart physically but "eons apart in their architecture"?

ALT1: ... that the New York Telephone Company built a 27-story structure at 101 Willoughby Street to replace its eight-story regional office one city block away?

2a. it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline.
Citation style is consistent. No issues.
2b. reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose).
From a preliminary search on Google and Newspapers.com, nothing of note has happened since 2013 apart from the building of a taller (and ugly) residential skyscraper at 111 Willoughby Street (can't wait for the Epic GA article on that monstrosity!).
3b. it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style).
Short for an EpicGenius article. I don't really see anything that needs to be removed.
4. Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each.
Hard to be biased against a building, contains criticisms and praise by critics.
5. Stable: it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute.
Last edit not mine or nominator's from over a month ago.
6.Illustrated, if possible, by media such as images, video, or audio:
[11], [49], [55] clippings seems to have text cut off. I imagine the process is tedious, but I'd go through all the Newspaper.com clippings and check if all text is present for verifiability.
I have fixed some clips and will look at the rest of these later. However, in my view, these clippings are convenience links, rather than absolutely necessary to verify the reference (someone could in theory go to a library and look at these articles in person).

[69] there doesn't seem to be any mention of 7 MetroTech in the article or about it being unrelated, although I can't read so just double check.
It is mentioned, but "Seven" is spelled out. The source says Other projects named "Metrotech" have come along independent of Forest City: Five Metrotech Center is the name given to a new library for the university. Six Metrotech Center is a New York Telephone Company learning center. Seven Metrotech Center is another phone company building. The way I read it, 5, 6, and 7 MetroTech were not related to the broader MetroTech project (which is the Forest City project). Epicgenius (talk) 00:35, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
