I’ve wanted to see this redevelopment for a very long time. Unfortunately, it will be a McSam. I hope that the design is a simple glass box and nothing too insane.

I was literally about to post this lol
I feel it’s going to be like the mcsam/kaufman at 223 West 46th.

I wonder if McSam owns the corner building too

Sadly, with McSam-Gene Kaufman, just getting a plain boring glass box (that is flushed with the streetwall) is already a win.

It’s unfortunate that the heinous Duane Reade on the corner won’t come down also.
In any event, GK is redeeming himself lately, so I’m hopeful that something decent will rise here.

Well the google maps screenshot is from August, so I’d imagine if anything has been done it hasn’t been much since it took forever to even erect the scaffolding.

I can’t wait for it to come down. It’s hideous.

Sadly, nothing appears to be happening with this vile piece of trash.
Fortunately, however, the garbage in the north corner is for sale.
Leyva’s building probably ate a bunch of the air rights around it, but any demo on this blockfront is a good demo.

I agree. 8th Ave has a lot of filthy garbage.
