Tue May 11, 2021 - Northeast Edition CEG Rendering of the proposed skyscraper on top of Macy's. (FXCollaborative rendering) Macy's revealed new renderings on May 10 that illustrate its plans to build a new office tower over its midtown Manhattan, N.Y., flagship location in Herald Square. Two years after its initial announcement to build the skyscraper atop its landmark department store, the retailer also said that it will invest $235 million in the surrounding neighborhood — including new subway entrances and more pedestrian space. The New York Post reported the multi-million plans could help get the skyscraper plans approved by easing "the project's way through the Uniform Land Use Review Procedure, the city's often contentious approval process. The tower needs City Hall's green light for a zoning change for its size and height — 1 .5 million square feet of office space and between 750 and 900 feet tall, according to plans shown earlier."
