Macklowe moves closer to building Midtown tower with $44M deal
By Steve Cuozzo

Quote:
Harry Macklowe took another step toward building a supertall office tower across from St. Patrick’s Cathedral and between East 51st and 52nd streets. He quietly closed this week on a $44 million purchase of four-story 5 E. 51st St., according to city Finance Department records.
But ecstatically remarried Macklowe still has a long way to go with the multibillion-dollar project. His assemblage isn’t complete yet; air rights purchases must be negotiated; and the 1,551-foot-tall skyscraper would need several, which would face certain contested city approvals, including from the Landmarks Preservation Commission (because it brushes shoulders with several designated landmarks).
