Was at a housewarming party over the weekend and ended up chatting, briefly, with an architect at SOM who alluded to this project and said he was actively working on it, and it sounded like shovels were in the ground or at least close to it.

There is work to upgrade the parking lot on the 9th Avenue end of the block, so I'm beginning to suspect this site will be the 3rd office tower associated with the Port Authority Bus Terminal redevelopment.

The more the city keeps eliminating traffic lanes, the tighter congestion becomes. But I will say, for the most part, the Hudson Yards has some generous walking spaces. 50 Hudson and the Spiral are two enormous skyscrapers side by side on the skyline. But the generous spaces on 34th make them feel farther apart.

The truck alleys on 10th and 11th need some of Fred Cerullo’s magic.
This article discusses the massive physical improvements that BIDs are conferring upon Gotham. The greatest of these will be recreating a mini-Champs Elysee on Fifth Avenue.
Some more details on the City and Port Authority's agreement to include 360 10th Avenue into the broader Bus Terminal redevelopment, via PILOTS that will go to help pay for the new terminal.
I should point out that this is a random massing for the purposes of study...
It now appears that the site could be expanded, or increased to a total development of more than double the 1 msf.

So with the assemblage, I think it's most likely this may be joined with the lot next door (the brick building) to form a single development site. I don't think they will build over the access road.
An idea of how I think the assembled lot would fit in to the surrounding area with other developments...

^ scaffolding is up around 450. a shame as its a classic west side type bldg, but nowadays this is a stellar site for something impressive.
They recently got approval to add a couple of floors to that building. I haven’t seen them do much with it. If the city and state are serious about the PA bus terminal development, and they are, that parcel will be combined with 360, either through a purchase outright, or a joint development. It wouldn’t shock me to see McCourt sell as well.

Port Authority breaks ground on $10B bus terminal revamp

After years of stops and starts, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey on Wednesday put shovels in the ground on a $10-billion project to transform Midtown's notoriously run-down bus terminal into a spacious, modern travel hub.
The project will reimagine the 41st Street facility between Eighth and 10th avenues with gleaming new structures that will expand the bus terminal’s capacity, add ground-floor retail and a new park on Dyer Avenue.
Quote:
The new storage building, ramps and park space are set to be complete by 2028, while the main terminal building is expected to be operational by 2032, according to the Port Authority.
Paying for the project is no easy task. The Port Authority wants to sell rights to a developer to build two skyscrapers over the main terminal on Eighth Avenue.
Revenue from a third tower will also support the project; that building will be built on Port Authority-owned land bounded by West 30th and West 31st streets and ninth and 10th avenues near the Lincoln Tunnel.
The Adams administration agreed last year to commit 40 years of property tax revenue from the would-be commercial towers — up to $2 billion — to help finance the new bus terminal. Another $1.9 billion to pay for the project is coming from a loan awarded by the U.S. Department of Transportation in January. The Port Authority intends to foot the remainder of the bill.
