I hope the developer can find a way to integrate the facade into the new development. I also hope that they don't build just as much parking (or more) underground, as has happened in several of these cases uptown and in other boroughs. On a recent visit to Stamford I learned a new term, "parking pedestal," to refer to a design where the bottom floors of a building are devoted to car parking. Yuck.
