Description
The April 2008 issue of CityLand covers a wide range of land use, zoning, and preservation developments in New York City. Major stories include the City Council’s approval of Sheldon Solow’s East River development and the 125th Street rezoning plan in Harlem. The issue also reports on the Williamsburg Grand Street rezoning, the withdrawal of a controversial loft conversion in Bushwick, and the MTA’s selection of Tishman Speyer’s $1B proposal for Hudson Yards. Landmark coverage includes the designation of Webster Hall, a proposed extension of the NoHo Historic District, and a hearing on St. Michael’s Church. Legal updates feature court decisions on PS 64’s dormitory conversion, a variance challenge in Red Hook, and the City’s lawsuit to preserve the Windermere Apartments. The issue concludes with a profile of architects John Belle and Richard Southwick, reflecting on four decades of preservation work in New York City.
