thanks for the thread. Lecom. Just a little more history.
The spot was a parking lot for years and the Milstein boarded up with the intention of construction and then nothing happened for another several years. There was a pond and vegetation grew and it started to be referred to as Milstein Pond. Finally a render was released


But again, there was no movement. reports of selling the site followed. Then we got the next early render


Followed by the up-to-date one.




It has a duality to it. The Side facing 42nd street is very Times Sq with retail and billboards.


The 41st street entrance is more understated and is the entrance to the office component
