Did you look at the latest render in the NewYorkYimby article? It’s basically the same height as the buildings to either side.
And, of course, NY is not Europe.

What "small buildings"? The new building isn't taller than neighboring, 100+ year-old buildings.

Lower Fifth Avenue has been high density, with relatively tall buildings, since 1920 or so.

More NB permits were filed recently. Here’s the latest zoning diagram.

Thanks for posting, Chris. I couldn’t copy and paste it. The PoS that’s being replaced was the sole blight on this otherwise stunning stretch of Fifth. The architecture around here is stunning.

Came out beautifully - Big fan of this project and other recent new builds in the area, including 64 University

I agree. There are some more junky sites in the area that I'd love to see redeveloped with small, classic buildings like this.

I prefer the scale of this over the taller tower that was initially proposed.
