I'm not familiar with the other site. But this stretch of 57th Street has changed from the days of the tourists traps. A nice hotel/condo building with retail will fit in perfectly. I just hope all of the pieces fall into place, zoning and all. With construction permits falling sharply in the city, I don't think New York can afford to stop developers who are willing and able to build.
