Eh, I think they will probably hold… I don’t see any additional 57th Street supertalls moving forward (hotel or otherwise) til 2019/20.

There’s a Lendlease sign at the site with the address of 29 W 57th St.

I really hope they break ground soon!
I’d at least like to see the design.
That too! This project is so mysterious…
Yimby’s great article today about 111 W 57th included a photo of this empty lot. What a crime.

There are homeless shelters all over Manhattan, including in this neighborhood already. Won’t make any difference in their property values.
The whining neighbors should get a grip. Cities aren’t going to be 100% wealthy people.
LOL this is some really privilaged white people stuff. You haven’t really lived until you’ve allegedly been doing booger sugar and thought it was a good idea to give a homeless guy a ride at 4 in the morning & then he proceeds to rob you. That’s the American dream y’all.

nothing new as per today’s YIMBY update by Michael Young.
The vacant lot east of 35 W. 57th St., between Fifth and Sixth avenues, is owned not by Solow’s company but rather by a partnership of Vornado Realty Trust and LeFrak, which has prompted speculation that a deal could be in the works for Solow to sell his site to Vornado and LeFrak — or vice versa.
