In the Midtown East rezoning there were planned at least 15 new Towers (even could be 25-30). I feel after the pandemic everything has slowed down and just 4 skyscrapers are close to become a reality more than 7 years after that rezoning… 270 Park Ave, 350 Park Ave , The Commodore Project and 343 Madison Ave… Lexington and specially 3rd Ave need a redevelopment AF. ---
