“Sister City” from the Ace hotel people on the bowery. On a side note the amount of retail vacancies was pretty stunning, the landlords must be expecting demand to go up when this hotel opens. ![IMG_20180727_161454213_HDR](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/yimby/original/3X/0/c/0cf9565f52244bd20d3b8bbbec67bacd48934e89.jpg) ![IMG_20180727_161456406](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/yimby/original/3X/a/5/a534b21fb267045ed9f01380895c4bd2a89dfcaf.jpg) ![IMG_20180727_161812607](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/yimby/original/3X/4/6/469964d3edaa4a4a219f656c879150f114475043.jpg) ---

I’ll take that. It’s a massive improvement over the junk that was there. I wouldn’t be surprised if the new building is redeveloped in 20 years in Vornado can obtain that horrible McD on 8th. ---

Great news. This should happen on all the NYCHA parking lots and city-owned vacant sites. 50 floors sounds entirely reasonable given the housing shortage and NYCHA need for cash. ---

My biggest target for replacement (besides the seemingly eternal 375 Pearl) is this awful Mini Storage building on the High Line with its tacky sign. It’s a huge lot too.

Took this shot today but unsure of whats going on here. I forgot name. This was from Union City. There’s a empty parcel, looks like site is cleared. Another apartment complex.
