It won't really be a renovation, but a rebuilding, similar in nature to the new 425 Park Avenue.



Looking at the lower levels of the tower, I would prefer the transition from the second setback to the tower be similar to the transition from the first setback.
But I'm sure they would prefer to have that open deck. The base and first setback of the building would be primarily for the retail.
