The problem is where it sits. A prime, developable lot in the middle of the city’s premier business district, with direct connections to Grand Central and thousands of commuters? Redevelopment will win out. It’s the same natural force tthat gave us midtown to begin with. It was never about what looks pretty, but business. Although they could redevelop the site with some hotel space included, it’s not as imperative to the area as it was when travelers came into Grand Central by rail.
