Was there a few weeks ago. Amazing place, such an amazing view from the roof.
Interesting website about it http://www.islandstation.com/ There was a highly publicized development devoted to the place several years ago. I don't understand why the site is still running.

No website anymore or at least I was not connecting with it

So anything new?

In the last eight days? Oh, yeah, big things!
Let's see, on the 16th the site was completely demolished and new construction began. On the 17th workmen rebuilt it into a power station three times the original size and modeled after the Death Star, but it was blocking the view of some carefully placed, artistic driftwood and it kept blowing up homes on the other side of the river, so the new plant got shut down.
Then on the 18th, the site was re-zoned and turned into condos so more people could enjoy the driftwood from a new angle, but the neighborhood filed a number of petitions (not least of which because the Super-laser Fire Control Station was left armed and fully operational and a hyperactive 14 year-old got it as his bedroom) and took the owners to court. In court, the case dragged on for almost two hours before the New Island Station Condos were declared unconstitutional and their demolition began.
Since demo began so late on the 18th, and the new site was so big, it took until the early hours of the 20th to complete. I hear the workers actually erected a stunning birthday tribute to the late H. P. Lovecraft, but it was destroyed by a pack of owl-riding laser-squid. (Or is a group of laser-squid refered to as a "squidge?" I can never remember...)
On the 21st, the Illuminati salvaged what they could and built a great space-ship and blasted off into the cosmos, desperately hoping to try and put as much distance between themselves and Earth before the Mayan Apocalypse of 2012 so they wouldn't take as much of the blame.
In the early hours of the 22nd, I explored the crater that the Illuminati lift-off created and found it went down into a strange cavern deep inside the earth. Behind a peculiar rock wall, I could hear the sounds of machinery and strange, alien speech. I poured enough scotch on the wall to tunnel the final distance between the cavern and what proved to be an amazing underground city of super-advanced bro-dudes from the future. A great battle ensued and I only barely made it out with my life. As I was leaving the property, the futuristic alien bro-dudes were re-creating the original site in hologram form using futuristic bro-dude technology. The hologram is solid enough to be almost convincing, but if you know the secrets, you can walk directly through portions of it to find hidden treasure. And ladies.
I don't recommend it and won't be sharing the secret, though, because when you pass through the holographic walls, you come out the other side reeking of old PBR. That shit lingers, yo.
Also, be warned: the laser-squid, understandably, are more pissed off than ever before.

| | | | Awesome spot, lost all my pictures from a trip a few years back, so I may have to return. Back then you could walk right through the door!
A word of warning, you can take a serious plunge in that place. Back in highschool some younger kids went there to take pictures and one of 'em fell down three stories and broke a ton of bones. His buddies had to carry him out on a makeshift wooden stretcher to a nearby bridge, where they called an ambulance and said he fell off the bridge. Dude couldn't walk for almost a year..
Still, if you watch where you step from what I remember this place is the bees knees!!
