I don’t understand the eagerness for this tower to come down. Yeah, it’s a box, but it’s a damn nice box—there are a pretty decent number of smaller, uglier buildings of a similar vintage, on similarly large sites, in the immediate area that it seems would be much better suited for a potential supertall. Is it just because Chase already owns the land under this one? Is it really more expensive for them to buy another site than it is to knock down a 700’ tower sitting directly above an active railroad yard?
