A glass addition on top of the current office building’s steel frame would add 40 floors and make the tower 1,400 ft.–officially “supertall.”
MIXED-USE
The current office building would be replaced with retail space, an 11-story hotel and condos likely priced at $6,000 per sq. ft.
PLANNING AHEAD
Kushner Co., which bought the building a decade ago, projects beginning demolition work in 2019 and completing the building by 2025.
