It’s been nearly two years since the beloved Subway Inn moved from its decades-long home. The bar was located across from Bloomingdale's near the corner 60th Street and Lexington Avenue and has since relocated to Second Avenue to make way for new “Billionaires’ Row” project. Now, in recent weeks, its former home and five adjacent buildings are being prepared for demolition.
Stretching between 143-155 East 60th Street, the site is slated to bring forth a $900M, 350,000-square foot mixed-use skyscraper developed by Sumi Properties Group. Over the past month, construction workers have been milling about the condemned buildings, having recently erected scaffolding and construction netting around them. Demolition permits for all the structures are already on file with the Department of Buildings.
