Found that too. I'm wondering if that hotel would consider selling to 601W - I'm sure you could build a sizable tower on half that lot, but the entire lot could yield a really big tower or two. It looks like 601W pretty much was able to buy half of that block - minus the hotel and the small building with Don Fresco in it. Everything else is now theirs.
I know that 601W said they could develop on adjacent land, so I'm just wondering if purchasing a lot like they just did was always part of the plan regardless, or if it was more of a conditional thing that they'd buy the lot of land if they had a legitimate interest/signing.
If it's conditional then this gets really, really interesting, otherwise it's just business as usual.
