Thing is remember seeing a for sale sign on 323 East 79th a year or so ago; or maybe it was early last year. It wasn't up very long so guess the property moved quickly.
One huge reason why likely is left lot line faces the plaza for Continental Towers apartments. That plaza is part of a mandated public space forced upon then developers of the building (remember when the city used to do this?), and thus will remain forever open space.
Those purchasing these luxury condos will not have to worry about their view one day being closed off.
Meanwhile across the street another apartment building couldn't sell and was turned into Hunter college dorm space, go figure.
This will make the third new development going up on or near Second avenue from 79th to 81st. Icon has two new buildings (one each on Second and 80th and 81st) that are going up quickly. The one on 81st likely will be competed first as it seems they have topped off.
Suppose all this can be down to in part the SAS. East 86th station extends down to 83rd, so there you are. Not a long walk from 79th, and certainly is streets better than having to trek over to Lexington and 77th for the #6.
