Watch out, New York by Gehry. According to new development marketing guru Kelly Kennedy Mack, the city is about to see a flurry of new, starchitect-designed skyscrapers. In a new video segment by the Corcoran Group, Mack said she believes that because lenders are becoming more willing to finance large projects, the city’s new development sector is about to see a shift back to 60-, 70-, and even 80-story buildings, after a few years of smaller, boutique new developments dominating the market. That shift is likely to “completely transform neighborhoods and really make a huge impact on the Midtown skyline,” Mack said.
