Probably the last time I'll see it before there's nothing left to see. It's coming down quickly now. Demolition is a lot like construction, a lot of prep work, but when they start going it happens fast.

Filings of the current plan are still being reviewed by the DOB. Which means nothing has changed - as of yet.

I like it when those rare views open up. It’s that exciting short period between demo and construction. Related hasn’t filed any altered plans yet.

Not much to see. Looking forward to what comes next.

It seems fairly clear that an office tower will rise here. I'm reconciled to 343 Madison's design, but I really hope that we don't get an 850' glass box on this site.
^ One of the messier demo sites I've seen. They're working quickly. Time for Related to give us a peek at something.

That they did. Strange zoning diagram, I can't read anything. But, it does appear that the overall height is just above 1,300 ft (bulkhead height), with the main roof height at around 1,260 ft or so. Not sure if that's actual height, or includes elevation. But the zoning diagrams usually give us the actual height.

Yes, retail. That’s a hot stretch of Madison, where Chanel has reportedly spent $450 million on the retail base of 655 Madison.
There will also be a 4-story club, and a sky garden, before you reach the residential units. And this is all unless plans change.

Another comparison to 655 Madison, which also has a retail base...
The base here seems to mirror the base of the GM building across the street, though it would be higher at 85 ft.....
Total square footage would give us roughtly 500,000 sf of zoned space, about 725,000 sf in total for the building. Retail would account for about 75,000, compared to about 69,000 at 655 Madison.

^That sure looks like a Stern massing to me. Very similar to 220 CPS
I was thinking that as well. It could go either way, but the small setbacks seem less likely to be all glass. Who knows.
(220 CPS, 520 Park)

If we are lucky we could end up having the full stern complex with 220 CPS, 15 CPS, 800 5th, 520 park, and 625 Madison
We shall see. Now that we have seen a massing, renderings would be greatly appreciated.
