I’ve always wondered when this crappy site would be redeveloped!
It’s across the street from the site owned by the Turkish developer.

is planning to charge a stratospheric $20,000 per month or more for rooms at its planned 15-story center at 56th Street and Lexington Avenue in Midtown, the company’s CEO Thomas DeRosa told Bloomberg.
The company – along with its partner, Houston-based developer Hines – is planning to target New York’s wealthiest aged and infirmed residents.
“You take someone who’s lived at 88th and Park their entire life and you, all of a sudden, say I’m moving you to New Canaan, Connecticut,” DeRosa told the news service. “Because that’s the closest assisted-living facility I can get you into — that is unacceptable. You will kill that person.”
The partners purchased the two-parcel property at 139 East 56th Street for $115 million last month. The sellers were Stephen Meringoff and Dennis Riese. The site is currently home to a T.G.I Friday’s restaurant, which is scheduled to be demolished next year.

Not bad! Not bad at all!
It’s a classic building that fits that mirrors old New York.
I wa expecting a taller building, but it’s a nice design and will fit perfectly.
They said early on that it would be only about 15 floors. I’d prefer old-style buildings like this along the avenues over taller glass boxes. I would have much preferred this over the PoS planned for 281 5th.

Yea, I totally agree with you. You can never go wrong with a classic design for a new development IMO.
Good news, That TGIF POS days in the human world is limited.
The developers have acquired demolition permits to move forward with the senior luxury housing project
