I am, against all hope, looking forward to real movement on 2 WTC. It won’t stay like that forever and maybe this is the year some big news is announced. **Past Years:** > [@What are you Most Looking Forward to in 2018?](https://forum.newyorkyimby.com/t/what-are-you-most-looking-forward-to-in-2018/4101/28): > > I was just walking around jsq 2 days ago and realized that aside from a few very small projects, jsq is dead at this point. None of the large or medium sized projects have anything going on. So I too am really looking forward to some new progress there in 2018. aside from all the other great projects already listed above, I am also looking forward to watching the spiral and 50 hy start to rise side by side this year. I dont love either design and both had more potential, but it will be cool … > [@What are you most looking forward to in 2019?](https://forum.newyorkyimby.com/t/what-are-you-most-looking-forward-to-in-2019/4712/2): > > Really looking forward to outer borough stuff. 9 DeKalb will hopefully rise in earnest. 80 Flatbush taking off. Pretty excited to see LIC continue to boom (Court Sq City View Tower). Look forward to improvements at JFK and LaGuardia to continue. In terms of Manhattan, definitely looking forward to the giants topping out of course on 57th and 42nd Street. > [@What are your most looking forward to in 2020?](https://forum.newyorkyimby.com/t/what-are-your-most-looking-forward-to-in-2020/16348): > > I can’t believe no one started this one again for 2020?! So- what are you most looking forward to in 2020? I have a lot on my list but I’ll just start off with my number 1… 9 DeKalb finally rising! Should be soon too. > [@What are you most looking forward to in 2021?](https://forum.newyorkyimby.com/t/what-are-you-most-looking-forward-to-in-2021/18438): > > I’m a little tardy, but we have a tradition of these: 2018 2019 2020 For me, in 2021, I am looking forward to 66 Hudson Blvd (The Spiral) being completed with the landscaping in place, are they still putting trees and stuff on it? I know I’ll be disappointed based on the renders, but I am curious. ---

Amen I’m hoping Covid comes to an end soon as well. In terms of developments I’m looking forward to seeing how Steinway Tower and 2 Manhattan West will illuminate at light. Im also looking forward to seeing the construction of new approved skyscrapers. ---

Happy New Year, everyone. I look forward to Covid ending (hopefully), word peace, the elimination of hunger, etc. Closer to home, I look forward to: 520 Fifth; 570 Fifth; Hopefully 405 and 417 Park proceeding together as one project; 175 Park signing an anchor; and The announcement of more supertall condos. ---

Honestly, the Hotel Penn, the Roosevelt and the Grand Hyatt/Commodore are the biggest ones. Most curious about the Roosevelt though! ---

What are the plans for the Roosevelt again? I know Hotel Penn is being replaced by Penn 15 and Grand Hyatt is being replaced by 175. ---

I hope that the Roosevelt gets landmarked. Given that NY board members don’t have any fondness for Pakistani’s, I can see that happening. ---

Stocks are already at all-time highs. I hope they go higher and we have a new Roaring 20s. I hope COVID goes away. More supertall condos. An announcement of a tenant at 2 WTC. NYC continues to cement itself as the world’s greatest city and inches closer towards 100 supertalls. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/yimby/original/3X/8/b/8befc7f7bbdf4d3615e458c9f11862ca29a0a3f7.jpeg) ---

I hope thinking in NYC: -Empire Station Complex moves forward as a whole -Port Authority Bus terminal and surroundings get redeveloped and the area between midtown west and Hudson yards get the treatment it deserves -More news about new projects in Midtown East. A lot to go yet with the rezoning original sites. Lex and 3rd Ave are still underdeveloped. ---

I bet the development gods have a nice surprise in store for us at 405/417 Park. Building two smaller towers there wouldn’t make much sense. ---

I know Trump was looking at this about a year and a half ago. Considering the air rights they are conducive to a 2 million some odd square foot building. Sorry if there are typos, hair of the dog here. ---

Basically a 425 Park Avenue but a block south. Lex and Madison need some investment as well. Can’t put too many scrapers on Park, it gets boring. Third ave, when you can, but don’t press too hard for it. ---

Ehh, I highly doubt 100 supertalls by 2050 unless the outer boroughs start booming in population and increase their density by a lot. On the highly optimistic end we’ll have 40 to 50 supertalls by 2050. [Next page](https://forum.newyorkyimby.com/t/what-are-you-most-looking-forward-to-in-2022/20900.md?page=2)
