I certainly hope. Time to kick start this potentially massive site.

Excellent news. Great to hear that Kushner Cos is serious about this site.

It’s truly amazing; while the rest of the world redevelops surface lots into skyscrapers, only NYC redevelops skyscrapers into taller skyscrapers.

And some of these skyscrapers would be new tallest for many cities. Its like some cities wish they could have a structure of that height, and NY has the nerve to demo it (270 Park), and say... "I want more!".

But goes to show the scale. Some sections, even a 1000 ft is not as profound as it would of been 20 years ago.

A prime 5th Avenue site, with park views. Huge potential here.

"Sonny" has nothing to do with this development, and hasn't for a while. Try and keep up and leave you politics out of it.

Vornado announces “handshake” deal to sell 666 Fifth stake to Kushner
Steve Roth's firm will hold onto the retail






By Will Parker
April 06, 2018


Quote:
Vornado Realty Trust chairman Steve Roth said Friday he had a “handshake” deal to sell the company’s 49.5 percent stake in 666 Fifth Avenue to the office building’s majority owner, Kushner Companies.

In the company’s annual letter to shareholders, Vornado said it intended to retain its ownership in the building’s retail condominium, even if the deal to sell its office stake goes through.

Quote:
In a filing with the SEC on Friday, Vornado revealed the existence of an extraordinary “handshake” agreement that would not only refinance the $1.2 billion but allow the Kushners to buy out Vornado’s portion of the debt. This means the Kushners would once again own the entire office tower and Vornado would own only the retail space.

Quote:
As of now, neither the Kushners nor Vornado is revealing who is facilitating the deal

Why was my post about Prince Salmon deleted?

I can definitely see Saudi investment here. I envision a new Saudi consulate and embassy to the UN. A seven star hotel and hyper luxury condos. An Islamic Cultural Center would be nice too.

Unless or until he is involved, this has nothing to do with him, and certainly doesn't warrant a photo of him.

APRIL 9, 2018


Quote:
In an interview on Monday in his office on the 15th floor of the building, Charles Kushner declined to share details. “We’re finalizing a contract, which we’re negotiating now,” he said.

Mr. Kushner acknowledged that he had abandoned plans to demolish the existing aluminum-clad office tower to make way for an 80-story, ultraluxury skyscraper designed by the architect Zaha Hadid. The tower was to include a lush retail mall, a high-end hotel and the pricey apartments, at a prime location in the city.

That will not be built, he said on Monday. “It’s definitely not a knockdown,” Mr. Kushner said. “It’s definitely not the original plan.”

So what is going to happen?

“We don’t know what we’re going to do,” he said. “We’re weighing our options.”


Quote:
According to real estate executives who have spoken to the developer but who requested anonymity for fear of becoming embroiled in a dispute potentially involving Mr. Trump, Mr. Kushner plans to upgrade the office space at the base of the building and is considering converting the top floors into condominiums.

But, anything Mr. Kushner does at 666 Fifth — renovate and sign new leases for the office space, create condominiums or some combination of the two — could cost hundreds of millions of dollars, at a time when most analysts say the building may not be worth as much as its mortgage.
