Asked whether or not the workplace market would maintain up its on-fire tempo, Holliday noticed no imminent large menace. He said plans could be announced early next 12 months for 346 Madison Ave., the former Brooks Brothers retailer website which SL Green just lately bought for future redevelopment.
He highlighted the significance of major facilities at new workplace towers such as the “immersive events” space at Summit atop One Vanderbilt with meals curated by Boulud. Noting that many of today’s towers, not only SL Green’s, boasted such options, he cited the “great job [Vornado chief] Steve Roth has done near Penn Station.”
