* EXTELL'S ABYSS: Gary Barnett's company has more than one empty pit to ponder. But most visible is the one on West 57th Street across from Carnegie Hall.
Although Extell faces a challenge getting a construction loan, it seems determined to build, and recently filed with the Buildings Dept. to do exploratory excavation.
The project, according to a Kentucky-based securities firm hired by Extell, is to be an 882,000 square-foot tower rising to 1,000 feet and anchored by a Park Hyatt Hotel.
Not surprisingly, the description was yanked from Aegis Security Design's Web site as soon as we wrote about it.
But let's hope the plans stand - and that they get done.
