Description
The March 2008 issue of CityLand covers significant land use developments and legal decisions in New York City. Highlights include City Council hearings on Solow Properties’ East Side development and Community Board 6’s 197-a plan, the approval of Karl Fischer-designed condos in Borough Park, and the Planning Commission’s actions on the Sunnyside Gardens Historic District and Grand Street rezoning in Williamsburg. The issue also reports on BFC Partners’ affordable housing project in Stapleton, Staten Island. BSA hearings include the Trump SoHo condo-hotel appeal and a variance request by Congregation Shearith Israel. Landmark coverage features the controversial Domino Sugar Factory redevelopment, the designation of Jamaica Savings Bank and the American Bank Note Company printing plant, and the calendaring of NYU’s Silver Towers. A federal court ruling upholds the Atlantic Yards project. The issue concludes with a profile of EDC President Seth Pinsky and his vision for economic development in New York City.
