New tower on NW Corner of 42nd and 8th?
The following was reported in the 3-9-05 edition:
The Duane Reade building on the northwest corner of 42nd St. and Eighth Ave. is under contract to be sold to a group led by Jeff Sutton and Joe Cayre, sources said.
This site is such an eyesore. Hopefully, it will spark much needed development on a hideous stretch of 8th Avenue.
Yep

Hmmm. The Duane Reade is locked in by the L shaped building around it. Wonder if that buildin is in the mix? The Laugh Factory recently opened there. Would they sign a lease in a building up for sale? Also, there is the large parking lot to the west of that building. It could be a big foot print if all of those lots come into play.
In the meantime, Time Square Plaza site lays dormant and puddle-filled.
Do you work for a developer or architect?Originally Posted by Wrightfan
I was thinking the same thing.
Architect.
n/t
Does that mean that you're neither?
hmm...now I'm excited.
There are two Duane Reades next to eachother: one at 40th in PABT and then the one at 42nd.
Let's assume this site gets developed and Milsteins move on Times Square Plaza. With NYTT in construction, how long before the PA Tower gets new life?
Ok, ok, I'm jumping ahead.
Ok, what is this "PA tower"? I mean, doesn't the Port Authority have the space at Journal Sq? Of course, those jobs coming to NY would be a very good thing...
Milstein should do a residential tower w/ a hotel. There was an article in the Times this week which stated that NY desparately needs more hotel space. According to the article, NYC has the highest hotel occupancy rates in America by far (despite the fact that its prices are the highest by far).
londonlawyer - Wrightfan said architect in the subject line.
Thanks. Who's N/T? Do they have a website?
