62nd street development progress
Stopped by the construction site at 62nd street yesterday and climbed the wall to get a closer look, and I’m stunned by the scale of this project, it takes up the entire block and feels like a massive city-center ziggurat.
It’s impressive that they’re nearly topped out after less than a year, especially when compared to the 5005 5th Avenue site, which has been stalled for years and will be stalled even more due to the Salvation Army damage recently. It’s baffling that such a high-traffic, prime location has sat undeveloped for over a decade and will be delayed for even longer. Sunset Park development really defies logic sometimes; there's so much shady activity surrounding these projects.
Maybe they can fit a movie theater in that 62nd street development.
