After over 70 years, World Landmark gets new friend. (click photo)
Proudly brought to the World-Famous NYC Skyline by New Jersey’s Vornado Realty Trust. America’s Largest “Local” Commercial Real Estate investment trust earned $257 million last quarter. Oh, that darn recession.
If it’s not too late for Bloomer’s Billionaire Buddies to end up demolishing the historic Hotel Pennsylvania and actually build this lovely glass box tower 1200 feet just southwest of the Empire State Building, maybe repeating Penn Destruction and ruining a tourist town’s famous image will be determined a bit… unnecessary?
There’s a rumor Bridget Bardot is partnering to develop an identical Eiffel Tower-shaped luxury condo tower directly opposite the River Seine with all profits going to kitty litter for underserved homeless Parisian cats.
Despite being a Truly Evil Airline Passenger, perhaps future mayoral candidate Alec Baldwin will only Tweet about this nasty business deal. That’s all it is.
With very large, high-rent upper floors, the Plaza(?) will have 34 fewer stories but be just 50 feet shorter than its famous Art Deco next-door neighbor.
Hey, that’s Progre$$ and we all know that’s all that matters.
