Reply to comment by KaiDaiz in Memorial Sloan Kettering Files Plans For 594ft 31-Story Skyscraper At 1233 York Avenue On Manhattan’s Upper East Side by maybeitwasmee

I live on 71st and my only issue with the blood bank (from what I know) is they are demolishing a park and a high school to build it.

I’m all for buildings like this, the blood bank even homeless shelters. Just put it in the lots where they are putting up multi-million dollar condos like at 1562 2nd ave instead.

The blood bank does not demolish the school or park - those are located across the street. The plan was to demolish old building and build new one. Its height would cast a shadow on the school and park at certain hours. That's the complaint they going with on paper but I'm sure its related to other reasons to residents nearby. They don't care for the school or park

That’s my mistake then. I thought they were going to demolish the old building and put a new one where the park and school are. As that’s what I remember a flyer saying.
