Thanks for the info NYguy!
NOOOOO I don't want the 12-story building demolished. Well it says 'partially' so I desperately hope most of it's character and presence/scale are maintained! We can't keep killing these beautiful, big, pre-war, classical buildings (Remember the lovely Bancroft building, just an empty lot now). We desperately need to change our zoning so that developers can build tall withOUT having to amass so much land and so many properties. Not only does it ever-so-slightly kill the fine-grained urbanism (created by small lots) that makes NY so great, but also dwindles our heritage little by little (no matter how small). Anyway let's hope they are incorporating this beauty into their massive project a-la-Steinway.
Okay now that I got that off my chest! Holy Crap 1000ft!!!!
