Talk to me when we see someone on board with experience in this department. Until then this is just brokers fishing for a sale.
It is conceptual. But yeah, no need for you to check back on this thread for a while.

Yes, the would like to bring more attention to this property (why wouldn't they?), even though it is in the Hudson Yards area that is already hot on the map for development. The only thing it would do more than otherwise, the plan is particularly geared for the supertall community, someone who could build this tower in particular. Of course it won't be the same exact building - it's conceptual.

But I don't see what you're so twisted up about. It's a plan (that's evolving), but not a proposal at this point, which is why we haven't changed the information in the thread.

“Hudson Spire reflects the dawn of a new age, emphasising the global character of New York City as a business hub, a tourist destination, and the many foreign residents who now call it home,” Macaluso said. ”Hudson Spire will be a welcome addition to the Manhattan skyline, and to the spirit of the city itself.”

When they get a buyer, we'll see where it goes from there. In the meantime...
