The effort to convert the old Penn Central rail yard on the Far West Side of Manhattan into high-rises has bumped along since being proposed in the mid-1970s by a developer named Donald J. Trump.
What was proposed for the area often rankled neighbors, who found the buildings to be too tall, too close together and too pricey. But, after welcoming its first residents in the late 1990s, the controversial mega-project is entering its homestretch.

The site includes buildings by architects like Richard Meier and the soon-too-be-completed Three Waterline Square by Rafael Viñoly.
While Donald Trump is no longer the landlord, his name still appears on façades.

this donald j. trump guy, i keep hearing about him.
that's because he's click-bait gold!
exactly @citizen. The author realizes what a ridiculous title this "article" has, right? One would also assume a "journalist" would have written more words in his "article" than he quoted from a reputable news outlet. Just tweet the NyT article, why even write anything.
