Think I found the site - no new permits yet, but a story on June 3rd said the hotel is coming by 2016.

Could have been something better, but at least we're getting rid of that open sore on 6th.

No surprise, with Cook+Fox as the architect I expected something similar to 510 W 22nd & a continuation of the new boxes we've seen along 6th between 23rd & 42nd in the last decade.

510 W 22nd

Cook + Fox Architects

The only nice things I can say about this are that the base with the storefronts are kind of nice, and the rest of the tower isn't actively ugly.

New York YIMBY:

Construction Update: 855 Sixth Avenue
BY: NIKOLAI FEDAK ON NOVEMBER 18TH 2013 AT 7:30 AM

Quote:
......
855 Sixth Avenue will be thoroughly mixed-use; the podium will hold retail and offices, while the tower component will be residential, with a total of 382 units. The office portion will come in at 120,000 square feet, and the retail will total 30,000 square feet; the actual skyscraper will stand 479′ tall.
.....

Permits for the new building were approved in October, and equipment is active on-site; per signage, 855 Sixth Avenue should be finished by the spring of 2016.

One of the buildings in the background looks like the Bankroft building except for the roof that is lacking the little "spires".
