The pace is anything but even. The early decades pass in near silence; the filings cluster heavily in recent years, peaking in 2025.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 58, with a site energy-use intensity of 65.0 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 494 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 38% permit, 61 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$12.2M of Kings, written across 255 government filings.
