The former Princeton Club is for sale. If Amazon buys this, they'd have a l-shaped site with the former PC at the far southwest corner of it. Amazon could make the entrance to a new tower at 522 Fifth on 43rd Street with a very nice plaza, and they could put the elevator bank for a new tower on this site which would provide big, open floors for a new tower.
While the former PC is a depressing, postwar eyesore, the rest of this stretch of 43rd has stunning old buildings.

The 10-story, 64,000-square-foot building at 15 West 43rd Street is being pitched for a variety of uses. Options include mixed-use combinations that range from office and hotel to residential rentals and condos, student housing or a United Nations headquarters, according to a marketing memo from CBRE. Marketing is being led by CBRE’s Dan Kaplan, who declined to comment.
The building, constructed in 1962 and renovated in 2008, has 52 guest rooms, two restaurants, a squash and fitness center, a library and business center and 16,000 square feet of meeting and events space.
Exactly who’s selling the former Ivy League club is unknown.
