I can't find relevant info, but I'm cynically assuming there's some zoning shenanigans going on here to setback the actual building to create a "public space" in exchange for selling air rights to the (or some) adjacent tower and then build this rolling shed to reclaim said public space for for-profit events to double dip. Which looks like is happening at least 1/12 a year for New York Fashion week on top of other ticketed events.
