303 East 51st Street
Arbor Realty Trust is looking
to sell its $71.65 million mortgage on 303 East 51st Street, the
construction site where a crane collapsed in March 2008, killing seven
people, according to the Observer. The Kennelly Development Company's
original plan was to erect a 42-story condo building at the location,
and the developer poured more than $120 million into the project. The
developer stopped making payments after the crane accident, and the
building is now facing foreclosure.

Has the developer acquired the parcels on the southeast corner of 2nd Ave. and 51st? If so, have those buildings been razed?
