You may think that, but the success of the towers there, combined with the companies who have moved there, and where they have moved from, should tell you otherwise. There has not been oppurtunity for the type of modern, large scale office tower construction that you see in Hudson Yards, until recently in Midtown East. And even now it’s limited. Until some of the larger towers with wider footprints start to come down, you will see more 343 Madisons in east Midtown than 50 Hudsons, itself about the size of three 343 Madisons.
