5th Avenue tends to have a lot of treasures, and some are not landmarked. See 316 Fifth Avenue as an example. Demo will commence, and in its place, a 40 floor tower. Probably won't match or exceed the quality that its replacing.
In the case of beautiful architecture being demo'd, so long as what its replacing exceeds the aesthetics, it's not a big loss, but when you have something removed for crap, then it's real loss.
But the way it works is that if it's not landmark, it's bound to see the wrecking ball.
