I meant to mention something about the I.D.E.A. District, a project I think is smart one, considering the multiple uses for the building and the public ground floor atrium space. It's the fenced off lot just north of the NewSchool of Architecture campus between E and F street adjacent to the trolley line on Park Blvd (a space that is currently notorious for attracting sidewalk homeless camps and drug dealers, and sometimes violence.)
I had a short conversation with David Malmuth (one of two minds behind I.D.E.A. District) and he told me the day before it was made official that they were given the green light for their first building to begin construction, which will probably begin before winter.
