Yes. That's part of the 220 CPS development. The rear end of 220 CPS is seen just to the right of Extell's empty lot. Vornado, the developer of 15 CPW and 220 CPS, owns the lots with the empty, but still standing buildings just to the left of Extell's lot (i.e., 229 and 231 W58th St). For this reason, together with the fact that Extell controls the parking garage in 220 CPS, Vornado needs Extell's cooperation to develop 220 CPS. Extell, in turn, needs Vornado because Extell does not want a 700 foot building rising directly in from of 225 W57th.
