I thought that at first, but to be honest, I think it's ok that they didn't. There are only a few blocks with junk on 5th, and I think they'll all be replaced with condos. Any site with 350-400k SF of air rights can support a very tall tower. Not to mention, it seems that St. Pats will be able to sell its massive air rights
I think that the new tower will be condos and have retail and maybe a hotel too.
I believe that Gary is trying to acquire the building at the corner of 46th and the Tudor-style POS just north of it.
