Will this get built?

The school is a big plus. Not much to say about the rest.

* 3 million gross square feet.
* A new school on 61st street that could potentially enroll up to 1,300 kids from K-8.
* A 250 room hotel just off of 59th Street.
* A massive underground automobile service center with a street-level showroom.
* A shallow fountain and scrim (1/4-inch deep pool) somewhat similar to the fountain at Millenium Park in Chicago that children and adults could walk into.
* More than 3 acres of public space.
* 12% of the units set aside for affordable housing.

One thing (among many) it wouldn’t contain that was originally proposed: a Costco. The community balked at a big box store on the site, so it was taken out.

I think this is where the giant Mercedes Benz dealership right by the Lincoln Tunnel is goign to re-locate.
