Grand Central Terminal. Perhaps the greatest and most practical reason as to why Manhattan is so dense with commercial highrises, north of the ESB and south of Central Park is due to GCT. A perk that developers and property managers love to include for their tenants is the close proximity to Grand Central.
The revitalization of Penn will cause in time the same effect on the Westside, however pure lack of space in the Midtown commercial epicenter is also to note for the commercial shift.
