Sadly, they won’t. It will sit empty for years like the lots on 57th St. and on 5th by the ESB.

Another older hotel will soon be demolished to make way for what the article calls a “trophy tower of 1.5 million square feet”. I suspect this tower will be similar in height to One Vanderbilt, Supertall. So in the future I can say that the Roosevelt Hotel is another destroyed building. That’s how I know New York as a historian.

According to NYguy, this proposed development has the same size (in sq footage) as Vandy, so I bet the new tower would be huge

It has the same size everything as One Vanderbilt in regards to zoning (FAR, ZFA, lot area, lot dimensions, etc) as do all the other blocks along the Vanderbilt Corridor. GSF calculations could always make it bigger depending on how the building is laid out and how tall the floors are.

They should make something black to go with the silver 175 Park Ave.

Lol, serves them right. But good news for the potential sale of the lot, maybe it will happen faster now.

The next supertall is coming.
JLL is now finalizing its agreement with the board, people familiar with the matter told TRD. Once formally hired, the team will seek proposals from a developer that would likely involve tearing down the hotel and rebuilding the site with a trophy offering.
The site can be built as-of-right to 800,000 square feet. But the Grand Central District and East Midtown zoning overlays can bulk it up to a supertall, well over 1.5 million square feet with underground connections to underground transit.
Bye bye Roosevelt Hotel Bye

Hopefully taller than 1 Vandy. But as always with these tower my favorite part is the underground connections
