If AB & Sons / Sioni Group are considering sheving the plan for a mixed-used @ 70+ stories, than this site is prime for a investor and developer who WILL have the functionality of a mixed-used. Its just what the site needs and I feel will yield a success. Given the area, a hotel + residential could in theory catapult this past the 300m mark.
A Jean Nouvel pick would be great. Verre 2.0???
If we've seen anything with the 5th Avenue projects (below 40th) that are rising or planned, I think the trend is 900 ft > greater as the Midtown peaks migrate South.
