Extell’s Diamond District plans just got even more mysterious
Developer has filed paperwork to demolish 12 buildings

Extell Development has filed plans to demolish two more buildings on 47th and 48th Streets, further fueling speculation about the company’s mysterious Diamond District development.
Last week the developer filed demolition plans for 25 West 47th Street and 30 West 48th Street — a two-story building and four-story building, respectively, Curbed reported. The two buildings are next to 10 buildings that Extell sought to demolish in 2016. The city greenlit plans to demolish several buildings on West 46th Street, along with 2 West 47th and 3-13 West 46th Street, and 562 and 564 Fifth Avenue.
Extell’s plans for the assemblage, which Gary Barnett has spent several years accumulating, are unclear. Some have speculated that the developer plans to build a massive hotel or mall.
Barnett took over the ground leases at 562 and 564 Fifth Avenue in 2015 from Joseph Sitt’s Thor Equities and SL Green Realty. Extell shelled out another $11.7 million for air rights above 562 Fifth Avenue.
