Description

This issue of CityLand highlights key land use and preservation developments in New York City as of August 2013. The City Planning Commission held hearings on Phase 1 of the Willets Point redevelopment and the adAPT NYC micro-unit pilot program. The Landmarks Preservation Commission designated the Holland Plaza Building and considered several controversial proposals, including a seven-story building in Greenwich Village and a two-story addition to the Evelyn on the Upper West Side. A new residential building at 74 Grand Street incorporating a salvaged cast-iron façade was approved. The Steinway & Sons reception room was considered for interior landmark designation. The Church of St. Paul the Apostle’s designation was modified to exclude its convent building. Guest commentaries addressed the future of Penn Station (Scott M. Stringer) and the privatization of public open space (Alexander Garvin). The issue also includes extensive charts on ULURP, BSA, and Landmarks activity.
