Two 50-story residential towers could weigh on Fulton Market infrastructure, residents worry

In an area rich with meatpacking history that unfolded in squat brick buildings, Fulton Market district residents have apprehensions about two proposed residential towers that each could rise more than 50 stories.

It’s not the height that concerns neighborhood groups the most. It’s the new people the projects would bring to an area already crowded with employees at companies like Google, co-working space WeWork and investment fund and incubator Sandbox Industries.

But all those people working and dining in the neighborhood is just what's attracting apartment and condominium developers.

“We think it’s a very attractive place to live and we wanted to design the nicest buildings both for sale and for rent,” said Curt Bailey, president of Related Midwest, the company behind both buildings.
