Oh wow, didn't even realize Puma had closed. I had passed by there Saturday and it still appeared open. But I was under the impression that the apartment and retail project included Puma, Proof/Sunglass Hut and Carmines. But things looked business as usual.
That area is going to be one big construction site. Might want to be strategic about closures. Sutton Place is currently closed for renovations. I can see into empty rooms from my apartment and the place looks gutted.
When all is said and done that area is going to be way better in 3 years. Lots of new shops and restaurants, and the architecture will take a major step up.
Plus the area will get some decent midrise buildings. The park will feel better scale-wise.....More enclosure, but not too tall.
