As reported in YIMBY, The Real Deal and the Upper East Side Patch, the Developer Extell has just filed demolition permits for an entire block on the east side of First Avenue between East 79th and East 80th Streets in Yorkville.

Though no New Building plans have been filed, this developer is responsible for the construction of several supertall residential towers in Manhattan and Brooklyn. The developer has also been buying significant swaths of land in other areas of the Upper East Side, though no New Building permits have been filed for a significant portion of those sites either.
