Jared Kushner's family has unveiled that plans to erect a skyscraper on the New York City skyline at 666 Fifth Ave are now underway.

The giant $7.5billion project is set to take over Kushner Properties' current Manhattan office at the address with plans to transform it into a 1,400ft tower adding 40 floors with retail shops, condominiums, and a hotel, The Wall Street Journal reported. It is also set to be renamed to 660 Fifth Ave.

There is a high rise on the plot with the address of 666 Fifth Avenue. The building features 666 in bright red neon lights. It looks like the Kushner's are going to convert half the lot to green space. Perhaps that was the price of getting the permits to build the new building.

I wish them well. Maybe Jared can quit his White House job so he can manage the project.

Ahh... The Tishman Building with Stouffer’s Top of the Sixes Restaurant on the 40th floor. For a time Manhattan’s highest restaurant with glorious views.

I remember dining at Stouffer’s in NY and in Boston when I was a kid. I had to wear a coat and tie and behave like a gentleman.

I had a job at a house having a 666 Number. They did indeed change the number

[Hatteras]

Just.... no.

666 Fifth Avenue sounds like a boffo title for a summer drive-in slasher flick.

Yup.... The Calcutta street urchin look was sternly frowned upon...no seat at the inn.

Didn’t Ronald Wilson Reagan buy a house at 666 too?
