Over the last seven years, developer Icon Realty Management purchased six low-rise buildings along Second Avenue between 80th and 81st streets. Now, restaurants in those buildingsincluding Upper East Side institution Pig Heavenare being forced out of their spaces. That, plus the fact that Icon also bought a bunch of air rights, is a sure sign that a tower is set to rise on the site. Plus, from the guy who sold the air rights: "They're going to build a high-rise—I've seen the renderings." Everyone, get on demolition watch. [DNAinfo]
