Overview
- Extell submitted detailed plans to the New York City Department of Buildings for a 1.2 million-square-foot, 430-unit tower at 80 West 67th Street on the former ABC campus.
- The proposal describes an roughly 1,200-foot building with about 25,000 square feet of retail, amenity space, and a 187-car garage that would become the neighborhood’s tallest.
- The site sits outside the Lincoln Square Special District and qualifies for as‑of‑right construction, and Extell can combine unused air rights from adjacent parcels to reach supertall height.
- Affordable housing remains a live issue, with Gary Barnett proposing a 20% set‑aside largely for senior studios and Council Member Gale Brewer pressing for 30% family-sized units.
- Demolition on several former ABC buildings has finished, and Extell has not announced a construction start, as community protests have focused on years of work and potential shadows over Central Park.
