This really does not surprise me at all, it is remarkable how underdeveloped the area around Penn Station is. There's that awful corner on 34th and 8th with a Duane Reade, and a Burger King. Then that restaurant that overlooks MSG that's about two or three stories on the same block as 1 Penn Plaza. There's even a surface parking lot right off 8th on 31st across the street from the Garden.

I would imagine that this is just the first of a string of new buildings in that immediate area.
Tell me about it, I live on 28th and 8 and I get to see that corner every day
