Once again I am greeted with a surprise that can only happen on this site.
I mean, I'm tempted to say ph*ck the West SIde...but almost.
Imagine, then, if you will, an east-to-west cutting swath of ridiculously tall and slander monoliths from 225 West 57th to One Vandy and who knows what else with Grand Central/MidTown East?
A 1000'+ at this address will ensure this happening, given also the aforementioned re-zoning green light.
However (FWIW IMHO; so please don't throw things at me
)......
Reading up on all this apparent good news, I can hear my inner skeptic repeating "If it's too good to be true, it usually is." with a loud, agitated voice. I fear that all this "WooHoo! Another K-footer for the Apple!" giddiness is that very same nugget of wisdom paraphrased in various forms in the NYC Supertall Proposals threads here.
And it makes me wonder. I *still* need convincing that this painfully lead-ass slow economic recovery will hold out just long enough to bring these happy tidings to fruition. Yeah, it's NYC and all; but it takes little more than the right bubble(s) to pop, if you catch my drift.
I'm done speculating (apropos Wall $treet pun) lest I jinx things.
