Description
This issue of CityLand highlights major land use and preservation developments in New York City as of April 2013. The City Council approved Trinity Church’s Special Hudson Square District rezoning with modifications to encourage affordable housing and open space, including landmarking efforts for the South Village. The Landmarks Preservation Commission approved a revised nine-story building at 325 West Broadway and rejected a proposed building adjacent to the Merchant’s House Museum due to design and preservation concerns. Alloy Development’s townhouse project at 55 Pearl Street in DUMBO received approval after design refinements. A new building at 74 Grand Street will incorporate the preserved cast-iron façade of a demolished 19th-century structure. The Historic Districts Council held its 19th Annual Preservation Conference, focusing on preservation priorities for the next administration. Guest commentaries addressed the East Midtown Rezoning and the need for affordable industrial space for Brooklyn’s food manufacturers. A profile of Mary Beth Betts, Director of Research at the Landmarks Preservation Commission, explores her career and contributions to historic preservation. The issue also includes extensive charts on ULURP, BSA, and Landmarks activity.
