What could happen here

Our outlook
  1. Likely to stay
  2. Could change
  3. Change coming

It is already about as big as zoning allows, so there is little reason to rebuild.

Zoning limit706,063 sq ftBuilt975,170 sq ft
Could it get bigger?
NoIt is already 138% of what zoning allows on this lot, more than a new building could be.
Could it be torn down or changed outside?
YesIt is not a landmark or in a historic district, so regular building permits apply.
Is anything planned?
Nothing filedNo new building or demolition permits are on file with the city.

Our outlook is a plain-language reading of zoning, landmark status and permits, not a prediction. Zoning district R8A · Lot 108,625 sq ft. Source: PLUTO, retrieved Nov 10, 2026.
