Lads,
The NE corner of 34th and 8th (all the way through 245 W 34th) consists of about eight, low-rise, dilapidated structures, which have been vacated by their vagabond tenants in recent months. Most recently, a crappy women's clothing store vacated 255 W 34th this week.
Vornado owns some of these structures outright, and LLCs, which I guarantee are controlled by Vornado, have acquired the other sites in the past few years.
I am certain that Vornado plans a residential or hotel (or both) at the site with a huge retail base.
This is the heinous site.
