Well, it won't proceed for another two years (2010), so the developers are just putting themselves in position to proceed when things
can. As major transportation projects (such as Moynihan Station and the ARC project) come back into focus, this area of Manhattan will see a dramatic change. Unfortunately, sites are limited, so as much space as possible must be built on this lot if it is to replace the Hotel Pennsylvania. Even as proposed now, the larger version is much smaller than what was being planned when Merrill Lynch was the potential tenant.
