Demo Signals Start of Work on 1,100-Foot Midtown Tower

New, 6 comments

The massive Mercedes showroom near the entrance to the Lincoln Tunnel is not long for this world. A tipster sent a picture of the brutish building—which occupies most of the block bounded by 40th and 41st streets and Eleventh Avenue and the block-long Galvin Avenue—in the midsts of its demolition. The block-large site at 520 West 41st Street was snatched up by Silverstein Properties with plans to erect a 1,100-foot-tall residential tower with 1,400 apartments and a hefty retail component. Although demolition's plowing ahead, the developer has yet to file plans for the supertall tower with the Department of Buildings.
