Land Use & Zoning

• The applicants, 401 Commercial LP and 401 Hotel REIT LLC, propose to redevelop the current site of the Hotel Pennsylvania on Seventh Ave b/t 32nd & 33rd Sts, across from Penn Station, with a new commercial office building - a redevelopment project known as 15 Penn Plaza.  Hotel Pennsylvania would be demolished.  Two options are being proposed - a Single-Tenant Office Scenario and a Multi-Tenant Office Scenario.  As proposed, the single tenant scenario would be over 1,200 feet tall, making it the third tallest building in NYC.  The multi-tenant tower would be slightly smaller. 

The zoning actions required in order to construct the building are:

• A subway improvement bonus which includes the construction of new entrances on 7^th Avenue and the opening up of the passageway (the Gimbel's Tunnel) between the 7^th and 6^th Avenue lines
