There will be no formal city land use review process since they do not need to seek a zoning change. But the developers will go through an 18-month review process that includes a environmental impact study, which requires community input. They submitted the pre-application to the City Planning last June, and in October, they met with other city agencies to outline the process. They met with the councilman in October. If they stay on schedule, they would host community input meetings in summer 2024 and again in winter 2025, and would trigger the environmental impact process in spring 2025, with it wrapped up six months or so later.

A few more points that came up for the record:

The northern parcel, 3A, is fully developed

Councilman Chris Marte said for the record that he is against the project

The current residents of the townhouses are in negotiations with the owners to be relocated to “comparable or better” apartments within the complex.

They did not say how many tenants that is, but my guess is it is less than 20 units out of the 50 they will raze.

The existing towers are 346 feet tall and have a total of 1323 units
Which brings us to the developer’s decision to build a 900-foot tower in Tribeca.

“To even be considering 900 feet — I can’t believe it has gotten to this place,” said CB1 member and Tribecan Tricia Joyce. “We are not against development. There is logical development, and then there is this…It is completely out of context for this neighborhood. Whether or not you are allowed to build it should not be part of our discussion. This is not the right development in this place.”
