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.

A developer’s plans to reinvent a Midtown office building are coming into sharper focus.
Vanbarton Group, one of the city’s most-active converters of commercial towers into rental housing, seeks to create 420 apartments at 1011 First Ave., the soon-to-be-former headquarters of the Archdiocese of New York, according to a new filing.
The filing, submitted Thursday to the city’s Department of Buildings, also calls for extending the height of the 398,200-square-foot structure by 6 stories, from 20 to 26. And Vanbarton intends to renumber the blockwide site as 1005 First Ave., according to the filing, which was first reported on by PincusCo.

The site is stuck between East 59th and East 60th streets, across from the flagship Bloomingdale’s store. That could make it ripe for a different flagship retail location, according to marketing materials for the site.
But those same materials also see a path forward for a residential, commercial or hotel development, or a luxury combination of any of the above. Newmark’s Adam Doneger, Adam Spies and Avery Silverstein are responsible for the marketing.
Any of those options could allow for up to 79,000 square feet of redevelopment. That jumps by another 16,000 square feet with the affordable housing bonuses, according to the marketing materials.
