What do you think the chances are that the developer is also trying to acquire the two adjacent walk ups at 117-115? That would be absolutely ideal, as those need to go and would allow a wider building. In this situation I see Steinway hall essentially facadectomised and enveloped into the center of this tower. In this situation I believe a neo- traditional design would be ideal. I think it has the potential to be someone like RAM Stern's magnum opus.
