No, I think the Italian flag is for the Salvatore Ferragamo boutique.

The Consulate General of Italy in New York is at 690 Park Avenue, on the corner of East 69th Street.

They sure destroy the drama of demolition by covering everything in black netting.

I wonder what the story is with the three low rise buildings on the next block. The two to the south are always empty. The one with the Microsoft store was once very nice but has been ruined. I can’t tell from ACRIS if they have a common owner, but this site is screaming for a 1,000’+ limestone condo with a 7 star hotel.

While you're at it, please include 1 East 53rd Street.
Paley Park next to it is nice, though. Beautiful waterfall.

Paley Park is spectacular.

Michael Lam owns 673, 675, and 677 Fifth. I could not even think how successful a limestone condo with a 7-star hotel would do there. I’d like to see a Jumeriah.

I'm stunned Rolex isn't taking the opportunity to have a giant green advertisement.

Demolition For New Rolex Headquarters Continues At 665 Fifth Avenue In Midtown, Manhattan

Quote:

Demolition is progressing on Rolex’s old 12-story International Style headquarters at 665 Fifth Avenue in Midtown to make way for a 25-story replacement. Designed by David Chipperfield Architects and developed by Rolex Realty Company, the new structure will feature a modern glass curtain wall and yield office and retail space for the iconic watchmaker. Titan Industrial SVC Corp. is the general contractor in charge of demolition at the property, which is located at the corner of Fifth Avenue and East 53rd Street.

Since our last update in early April, demolition preparations were just getting underway at the site, with a portion of the windows boarded up and scaffolding assembly more than halfway complete. Work has proceeded steadily since then, and the superstructure is now fully enshrouded in scaffolding and black netting and razed about one-third of the way down. A construction elevator is attached to the southern end of the western elevation to aid in interior demolition.

665 Fifth Avenue sits directly across from the 5th Avenue-53rd Street subway station, serviced by the E and M trains. Also within walking distance is the Rockefeller Center station, serviced by the B, D, F, and M trains.

No official completion date for 665 Fifth Avenue has been announced, though sometime in late 2024 is likely.
