Mysterious Solow project
Curious doings are afoot at two of Sheldon Solow’s West 57th Street properties between Fifth and Sixth avenues, a block he increasingly dominates with his signature 9 West tower and new developments on both sides of the street.
At four-story 35 W. 57th, which he’s owned for decades, he’s booted two small kosher restaurants he wanted to evict over supposed insurance violations. The Great American Health Bar and Café Classico are gone and boarded up.
The site might be too small for a large new building. But it’s adjacent to a big empty lot — once home to the Rizzoli bookstore — owned by a Vornado-Lefrak joint venture. Now that No. 35 is vacant, Solow could easily sell it to the JV to create an even larger development site.
Or it could hint at a future Solow buyout of Vornado and Lefrak so he could put up another giant tower of his own. Far-fetched, but stranger things have happened.
