General Development Questions

this forum is dedicated to questions about developments members may have in general, that don’t belong in certain threads.

My first question: in the article below, it makes mention of a certain development on the UES proposed by Hunter College & MSK…

“On the Upper East Side, Hunter College, a unit of the City University of New York, and Memorial Sloan-Kettering announced plans for two large, adjacent buildings along East 73d and 74th streets, between York Avenue and the FDR Drive.”

Which development is this excerpt referring to?

It’s the orange “40%” site here:
