Thank you Profile - mcart - YIMBY Forums for bringing this to our attention.
The kleptocratic Mugabe regime allowed their mission to the United Nations to become a derelict eyesore in Midtown East.
Now their successors have somehow scrounged up enough money to demolish the decrepit edifice and replace it with a new mission.
They’re currently searching for architects.
Of course the risk here is that they run out of money during the demolition process, leaving their old mission in a partially demolished state, or that they have enough money for demolition but not for constructing a new building, leaving the site vacant for years to come. Either way, this spectacle will be fun to watch. Stay tuned!
