Under the proposed agreement, the Garden would move to the western half of the block-long James A. Farley Building, the post office that is being transformed into a $930 million transit hub to be a gateway to New York City. Robert D. Yaro, president of the Regional Plan Association said that this project has to respect the integrity of the Farley Building and create a grand gateway to the city but it would be a big plus for the city and the region if we could also gain transit capacity and regain the amenities of the old Penn Station by moving the Garden. The owners of the Garden and the developers have been discussing the feasibility of the project for six months. The Farley is two structures: The original 1913 building, with the grand staircase on Eighth Avenue and two-block-long row of Corinthian columns, and an annex built in 1935.
