I wasn't a fan of the Affirmative tower, would've liked to have seen those 5 other proposals.. but now.. doesn't really matter, unless they reconsider.

The Hudson Yards is currently getting the top rents overall, and is doing just fine for the office sector. If the state combines these two sites into one RFP process, I could see a stipulation for some affordable housing component thrown in there, just so they could say they did something. But this quote is ominous to me...
