A lot primed for development across the street from Penn Station and the future Moynihan Station has hit the market. 415 Eighth Avenue is currently a parking lot, but the 11,110 square-foot parcel of land is likely to go the way of residential development.

The development site is on the southwest corner of Eighth Avenue and West 31st Street, which puts it right across the street from the newly renovated Madison Square Garden.

Marketed by Massey Knakal, the lot includes 87,644 square feet of buildable space, including frontage along Eighth Avenue, 31st Street and through to 30th Street.
