As seen in new photos taken outside the work site, familiar cube-sized scaffolding has risen above the construction barriers at Apple’s flagship Fifth Avenue store in New York City.

After closing on January 20th last year for renovations, the store’s iconic glass cube was given removal approval in April 2017, and photos taken a month later showed that the structure had indeed vanished.

Rumors of renovations at the store began as early as 2016, and were confirmed when Apple closed the cube and opened a temporary store next door in the former FAO Schwarz showroom.

Photos sent to 9to5Mac today by Daniel Barchi show that after over a year of work, the iconic structure might be close to returning. While the progress will come as welcome news to New York residents who frequent the high traffic location, don’t expect to visit the new store any time soon.

A report last summer predicted that renovations won’t be complete until November. During Apple’s September 2017 keynote, retail SVP Angela Ahrendts added that the cube would return when the store reopened “late next year.”
