Description

The June 2008 issue of CityLand focuses on construction safety reforms and major land use developments across New York City. It covers the City Council’s consideration of 12 bills aimed at improving construction site safety, including proposals for independent safety monitors and multilingual signage. The City Planning Commission approves the Hunts Point rezoning and certifies the East Village/Lower East Side rezoning plan. Landmark coverage includes the approval of Jean Nouvel’s MoMA tower, the expansion of the NoHo Historic District, and hearings on the proposed West Chelsea Historic District. Legal updates include a court ruling allowing the Randall’s Island ballfield project to proceed and a preliminary injunction to preserve the Windermere Apartments. The issue also profiles Christopher Albanese and his leadership in green building development, including the Solaire and Visionaire projects in Battery Park City.
