Okay Chris. ^^
And I hope it is too. It’s very nice.
That’s not the design. They also made a beautiful proposal for 281 5th, which was rejected for Vinoly’s lame tower.
I hope that this project is delayed and that a Stern design rises here instead of the Handel, which is currently planned.

It’s just like when you zone for lots of high density commercial without demand in Simcity 4 and all the lots fill with… flea markets!!

Barnett did the same thing with his huge lot on 46th and 8th. It’s a huge flea market.

I feel something big might come here, but not anytime soon, probably 2-4 years.

It’s supposed to be 920’. I think it will start in 2017.
we bought some souvenirs here when we were in town. Whole time we were there I kept thinking “There has to be a better use of this prime real estate than this”
So much for a late spring groundbreaking… 
It may start in the spring of 2017. It won’t sit fallow for long.
Trump’s administration will precipitate a boom in NY real estate, as Wall St will soar.

I hope so. Might be good enough to continue the cycle like in 2015, where we had like 55,000 units + and 44 billion in construction rising. I believe 2016 set the record, at 46 billion or so. Maybe we will reach 50 billion in construction spending. Either way, great times ahead.
To get a small sample of the total boom, just look at LIC, and thats just one boom spot. I want the residential sector to be a little higher. Possibly office. Hotel is doing just fine, although one Tokyo developers project in LIC accounts for something like a quarter of units in the pipeline. (Hotel that is).
I think that it will.
We’ve had a very tepid recovery that likely will take off.
