City Planning Hearing on Toll Gowanus Condos Wednesday

January 5th, 2009 · 3 Comments

We do love the Toll Brothers proposal for a condo on the shores of the Gowanus that we are fairly convinced won’t be built any time soon, partly because the developer’s finances are–how to put this–going down the shitter with astounding speed. In any case the firm is looking for a spot rezoning of property for a big condo development and the next step is a City Planning Department hearing. That is going to take place on Wednesday (1/7). The location is 22 Reade Street in Manhattan and the meeting starts at 10AM. The rezoning itself appears to be coasting to approval.

    Also, I just can’t imagine anyone wanting to live there. The place has it’s own beauty, for sure, but it smells awful.

    Yeah, I really like what’s there a lot more. Besides, NY doesn’t need any new apartments, right?
