I’ve been been diving into an old photo archive tumblr. Here’s a throwback to 500 Fifth Avenue U/C in 1930. Another, taller monolith will soon rise nearby at 520 Fifth…

500 5th ave is a jewel. It just had its facade refurbished.

I didn’t know that Ceruzzi and SMI own the Lipstick
Building.

He has deeper pockets than I thought.

So is this replacing that old build or will it be next door (obscuring it?). This is gonna have a really nice presence, pretty similar to Chrysler building (this wont have a spire to boost its stats)

Everything on this site has already come down. It was nothing special.

I feel like this excavator is almost too big to even move around on this small lot.

Take this with a huge grain of salt, just a massing of sorts
