We're building a civil rights museum there that Reverend Sharpton and his foundation will lead, and then we're going to make it a symbol and an environment of economic opportunity for people new hotels, apartments, condos, and also I'm building forty percent affordable housing there too.

Forty percent is a big percentage of affordable housing.

What has been the biggest obstacle with affirmation tower?
I think getting the Governor of New York to actually make a decision to sell us a site. We have proposed. It's a second time now. We have proposed you know, a price and a project a couple of years ago, and then Andrew Cuomo had to leave office and so Hochul came in, canceled it and then reissued a request for proposals. We've done that and in that process, so that's the biggest obstacle.
You know, good news is is that we've been able to raise the capital to do it.
It's a three billion dollar development and uh and so I think that, you know, it should be a no brainer in my view, because we're a very qualified team…
