If we are allowing developers to build all this...

He's talking about MoMA being the encroaching glass box, not the Nouvel tower.

New building permits were filed about a month ago for a 29 story tower by Kaufman. The current building still looks shuttered from Sandy damage.

Yea, those new Vornado signs are really bright, and sharp. With their recent announcement of upgrading their 34th St. properties, I bet they're going to try and turn into Times Square.

One of my dream proposals is to have an ocean liner docked on the west side.

The 57th Street side concrete is much rougher than the Park Avenue side. It also has lots of construction paint on it, therefore expect a nice buffing at the end. The Park Ave sides almost look as...

Solow only sold off that southern site to JDS, so Meier could still be in the picture. Solow has good taste.
