240 CPS is landmarked, built by a famous 20th century architect, and considered one of the best examples of early modernism, so good luck with that. Anyone with urban planning or architectural background would laugh if you advocated for its demolition over 417 Park.
417 Park isn't landmarked and won't be missed, as there's one practically on every block. If there's one thing Manhattan doesn't lack, it's anonymous prewar residential midrises.
This whole conversation reveals the following- architectural appeal is totally subjective, so arguing aesthetic merit is a waste of everyone's time.
