MTA STATION AND VENT EASEMENT

The MTA is in the process of preparing the conceptual design study of the Tenth Avenue Station for the No. 7 Train Extension. The goal of the study is to arrive at a conceptual design of the station facilities and infrastructure on the Project Site to a level of specificity that will assist in determining the dimensions of any required MTA Easements, volumes of space, impositions or encumbrances. At the time that the study is complete, the Developer will be expected to work with the MTA to finalize the MTA Easements and adjust its Proposal accordingly. The Developer is encouraged to design and incorporate the MTA Easements so that the MTA Easements appear uniform with the overall Project. The Contracts of Sale will require that, as a Condition to Closing, the Developer shall have coordinated with the MTA, and shall have accepted and accommodated within its site plan the MTA Easements as set forth in the above mentioned conceptual design study.

This site will result in a rather bulky tower, since the location doesn't justify a high end supertall. Then again, I know that there are always surprises in store.

[chris08876]

Something like the "Sky" development, with its numerous amount of residential units would be ideal. 780k can go far with residential. A 300 unit tower, possibly a hotel portion, with retail in the base would be great.

I suppose there's always the possibility that the MTA easement will force the tower to be narrower than it might otherwise be.
