^ Consider that over the past three or four decades, we've only seen two towers over 1,000 ft under construction in the city - neither to roof height, and both during boom times.

Well, let's not jump
too far ahead. There's only one in midtown under construction, and there are quite a few in the proposal stages. I do expect the Hudson Yards sites to come into play within a year or so because we are getting closer to the 2013 target date of the 7 line extension which will connect those sites (some already cleared for construction) with the mass transit network of the city. I would put the Hotel Penn site as very likely moving forward though. We'll just have to sit back and wait for a tenant, which will then allow the design process of the tower to move forward.
I'm also curious as to what will be built on the Penn East site...
