The most important thing here, correctly, is that lot, and what it's zoned to hold. There's also the matter of that plaza on 47th, although it didn't affect the Trump World Tower. But Trump's tower was as-of-right, and the mini war he fought with neighborhood residents was never a real concern for him.
That Con Ed site meanwhile, just south of the UN, sits empty and unispired to produce anything worthy of the site.
