Historic pre WW2 Building styles planned

Hi guys, I have a real interest in pre ww2 building styles in New York, I know its probably a long shot but we are seeing so so many glass & steel structures being built in New York as of late.. any plans for buildings that are more to the tune of traditional styles?

my personal favorite is 99 Church Street, currently on hold. It's a residential building with a limestone facade like many of the pre-war buildings in Manhattan.

Love that last one. Not too showy, so it looks elegant. Also that planned skyscraper looks great.
