I'm pretty sure they were a part of the original plan. ACRIS lists RBP (i.e., Related-Boston Properties) 45th Street LLC as owner of at least one of the rowhouses (Block 1017, Lot 1). But each lot seems to be listed under its own obscure shell company. That's standard practice when a company is silently buying up a block.
There were another 5 walkups on the northern part of the block. The cavemen at Boston Properties tore them down before having solid plans for the site and left the corner looking like Detroit. I got attacked at around 10pm by a mob on that now-desolate but formerly active corner a couple of years ago after the demolition.
