I don't know if they're gonna go for any park views, but with Rafael Vinoly (the new king of the slender tower), you never know. It wouldn't surprise me. Everyone wants to maximize their development site to fullest potential, and that certainly would do it. Even at 100,000 sf, it's roughly the size of the Steinway addition.

57th Street Is About To Get Yet Another Hotel-Condo Tower

Brace yourselves, folks: another condo-hotel tower is going to rise on Billionaires Row. Only yesterday it was revealed that Extell sold the undeveloped lot at 16 West 57th Street near Fifth Avenue for $95 million. Turns out the buyers are an aggregate of Brazilian developers who will bring their vision of a hotel-condo building to the site—and theirs will be not just any hotel-condo building. This hotel-condo building may, just may be designed by Rafael Viñoly and will carry the Fasano family brand, who NYDN refers to as "the first family of Brazilian cuisine." The Fasanos have already established a ritzy restaurant and hotel empire across Brazil and other locales, so it's safe to assume that the establishment will be as "extremely, extremely elegant" as it's already being billed. Sounds like that new "seven-star hotel" coming to the nearby former Rizzoli Bookstore site has some stiff (and elegant) competition.
