My guess is something extremely tall and thin, but who knows. No permits filed yet.

Something along the lines of 111 W. 57th would be nice. It would also bridge the gap between 432 Park and the rest of the new towers along 57th. but it's still too early to say. The views will be important, and we could have another situation like Nordstrom/220 CPS.

.....At a meta-level the story of this building project is a story about the renewal of New York, about new lamps for old. Many old structures are being torn down all over the city now as it seeks to keep pace with the needs of growth through greater density and higher-rise developments. Of course there is a price to be paid; not all the structures being demolished around town may be quite ready for it, though most of them likely are, and there are social costs to be incurred as well. Separately, for example, Vornado are going to tear down a famous old book shop, the Rizzoli Bookstore, on West 57th sTreet, for another project and it is not clear yet how the old Steinway building is going to fare under its new owners. Vornado for one have promised to help relocate the book store. But for the city of New York the pluses obviously outweigh the minuses as the city continues to grow with renewed exuberance.
