„ The Post discovered that was because Sutton had been planning to redevelop his two adjacent Fifth Avenue buildings at 720 and 724 into a luxury tower designed by Bjarke Ingels with Central Park views that would use the Aman name and amenities. Those plans are now unlikely to be realized.“
I dont think this needs a thread yet, the article states that, and thank god for that, BIG needs to stop being hired to design highrise towers, just stick with low rise buildings.
Is this the same plot of land?
I started it back then and immediately removed it from the list of active threads. If you say yes, then I can merge it.

Yes, it is.
Not seeing a prior thread for this development, delete if so:
Less than two years after buying 720-724 Fifth Avenue from deal maestro Jeff Sutton for $835 million, fashion giant Prada is nearing an agreement with Related to build a skyscraper that could be connected to, and use amenities at, the adjacent Aman hotel and residences, sources tell Commercial Observer.
Sources say Blau is currently negotiating with the company to build a 225,000-square-foot tower with the Prada store at its base, the company’s offices above it, and then super luxury residences throughout the rest of the building that could sell for more than $10,000 per square foot.
The new tower is unlikely to be designed by BIG, since every developer has their favorite starchitect, but it would still likely be sensitive to the gilded crown of the Aman and rise as a very tall, slender tower with single-floor residences.
