It's interesting that Extell is in the planning process for two large assemblages on 46th Street - one on 8th, and one here on 5th. I think whatever gets built here will most likely have a retail base, maybe some office and residential mixed in. One thing for sure, they are going to let the market to decide what and when to build. I don't think the sites will change hands, large assemblages are hard to come by. So there could be some time before anything rises on either site. We'll just have to wait and see.
