Korean Cultural Center Breaks Ground!

First announced back in 2010(that's 9 years ago), the Korean Cultural Center finally breaks ground today. I really thought this plan was scrapped a long time ago. More renderings after the link:

Between Lexington & Park Avenue on East 32nd Street, construction began on June 28th.

The Consulate General of the Republic of Korea, NY, purchased the site for $15.8 million all the way back in March 2008, which included nearly 4,500 square feet of air rights from the neighboring four-story building.  

Although technically in Murray Hill, it is roughly 3 blocks(three avenues away) from Ktown. And from the looks of it, the design remains the same & SAMOO Architects is still in charge of the design process.
