City Must Change Plans for 600-ft. Tower in the Meatpacking District, Eliminate Super-Luxury Housing
Quote:
In addition to an expansion of the neighboring Whitney Museum and space for Friends of the High Line, the City is seeking to build on public land an approximately 600-ft.-tall apartment tower on Little West 12th Street between Washington and West Streets containing 600 apartments, the majority of which would be super-luxury. They are seeking to move as quickly as possible to find a developer for the project, saying they will issue a Request for Proposals in late January.
Village Preservation has expressed outrage about the plan, urging the scale be dramatically reduced, and the luxury apartments eliminated.
The City’s claims that their scheme is necessary to make building affordable housing possible and expeditious is patently false.
Tell City Officials the Supertall Tower and Luxury Apartments Must Go
