Developers are trying to build a historically inappropriate glass condominium between White Street and Franklin Street. Let's not sacrifice Tribeca's history for real estate developers' profits!
Why is this important?
Not only will this monolithic glass wall upend historic Tribeca, but the building is out of scale and architectural context for such small lots. The real estate developer is seeking at least two zoning exemptions in order to maximize his profit. As a result, the Franklin and White back alley will lose light and egress; traffic will increase significantly; trees will be cut down; nearby historic buildings will be threatened by the pounding frequencies; and reduced parking will affect our local shopkeepers' businesses.
PLEASE SHARE YOUR VOICE ON THURSDAY, NOV 21 AT 6PM AT THE COMMUNITY BOARD 1 (CB1) MEETING AT THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN COMMUNITY COLLEGE, FITERMAN HALL, 245 Greenwich between Park Place and Barclay.
