Shouldn’t the official bids be in by now?

Those are some big league NIMBYs. I wonder if Hochul/Adams have a plan in place to keep them in line or if they’re just banking on goodwill?

Decent location, probably 2nd best next to Times Square.

If I had to rank them it would be

HY proposal
Times Square
This most recent proposal
Coney Island
Nassau
Citifield parking lot
The 2 existing ones
The ferris wheel by the UN.

The last 2 shouldn’t even be considered, they are by far the worst options and it’s not even close

I basically agree with all of that. There’s also going to be a proposal for 15 Penn I think.

Oh I completely forgot about that one. I guess it would go under this most recent announced one, but really I’d rather that just be an office tower

rumor that the HY Bid could include a SPHERE.
