[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There was also a long delay caused by litigation over the Lord & Taylor location there (ironically, since by 2021, every Lord & Taylor location closed anyway). That didn't help add any sense of urgency to the Lerners' plans for the site...[/quote]

Timing matters. There was BIG window from 2015-2020 to successfully redevelop this site. Unfortunately, the two teams of arrogant lawyers fought over the Lord&Taylor situation, which was only resolved when the entire Lord&Taylor chain shut down in 2020. That slamming sound was the window closing on any hope of a successful redevelopment.

The pandemic and the tidal wave of work from home crushed the book on commercial real estate, leaving the Lerner family making sad faces. (OK, all of them still more wealthy than I'll ever dream)
Anybody out there interested in a new high priced mixed use development built around a corporate center?
