I agree. Jeffrey Morris, Inc. owns the HH. According to ACRIS, in 2003, JMI also bought the empty lots next door (52, 54, 56, and 58 W 57th ).
The HH and the empty lots will be redeveloped. It’s a matter of when. I believe that JMI owned the Mayflower Hotel, razed it, and left it as an empty lot for years before selling it to Zeckendorf. The latter built 15 CPW.
This is the HH, and you can kind of see the empty lots next to it.
I’ll be elated when this PoS comes down.
