^ That doesn't meany anything. Goldman Sachs and a few others were or are in that range.

The excessive costs here probably have to do with design, which will likely be something extraordinary.

The footprint alone suggests a skinny skyscraper. But 3 quarters of a million sf is decent sized for these type skyscrapers. The Steinway addition (111 W 57) is between 100-200k sf and 432 Park is about 400k sf. They can do a lot with 733k sf.

Hines Gets Into Hudson Yards

September 29, 2014

Houston-based real estate development and management firm Hines today confirmed that it is joining with MG Properties to develop 360 Tenth Ave. for mixed-use.

Hines is based in Houston but operates internationally, and has a New York office that manages 16 commercial properties in the city, including several prominent office towers.

MG Properties is the NYC-based real estate investment and development arm of McCourt Global, the investment firm started by Frank H. McCourt Jr., who is best known as a former owner of the Los Angeles Dodgers.

McCourt's costly divorce led to the team's bankruptcy, and a sale forced by Major League Baseball in 2012. Prior to his 2004 purchase of the Dodgers, McCourt was best known as a Boston real estate developer; his family has been in building, construction and development for more than a century.

MG Properties bought 360 Tenth Ave., adjacent to the Hudson Yards development at W. 31st St., from NYC's Sherwood Equities for about $167.5 million last year.
