Extell has scooped up yet another new development site, a former Carnegie Deli that closed just last year. Located in West Midtown at 854 Seventh Avenue, the building currently stands six stories tall, but that won't last long.

In 1974, developer Sheldon Solow built the glassy, dramatically sloping 50-story tower at 9 West 57th Street. In 2005, he picked up the building right next door at 7 West 57th Street, for $25,550,000 and until now, the 32-foot-wide property remained untouched after being converted into offices in the 1950’s.

Recently, the developer AvalonBay Communities unveiled plans at 321 East 96th Street that will transform the massive property into an equally massive 68-story residential building, along with three schools–one of which will soon be demolished for this plan, and two others in the Upper East and West side.

A massive mix-use building is coming to Sunset Park’s eighth avenue between 61st and 64th street. Plans for this project had been altered quite a bit, but Architect Raymond Chan will finally be moving forward with a plan that consists of a mall, a 12-story residential tower, an 11-story hotel, and a pre-K school.

The residential portion of the project is planned to hold 250 rental apartments, while the hotel will have 150 rooms. The biggest change to the original plan is the addition of the school, which will be private and seat 498 students.
