Fusscas Submitted to the Department of Urban Studies and Planning, in partial fulfillment of the Degree of Master of Science in Real Estate ABSTRACT This thesis represents a study of the New York World Trade Center. It was written in conjunction with four other papers studying World Trade Centers (WTCs) sites in Taipei, Amsterdam, Curacao and Portland (Oregon). These sites represent a cross-section of the various trade and economic environments that World Trade Centers operate in around the globe. Each of these studies examines the extent to which the owner/developer, the tenants and other regional public and private concerns have benefitted through their involvement with these highly specialized real estate developments. The New York World Trade Center is unique from all other World Trade Centers in several respects.

    NYC Graffiti Case Could Leave Its Mark on Legal Arena

    NEW YORK NYC Graffiti Case Could Leave Its Mark on Legal Arena A lawsuit concerning the destruction of former graffiti-art mecca 5Pointz could be a watershed moment in the interpretation of the Visual Artists Rights Act A mural by Maria Castillo, aka Toofly, at 5Pointz that was demolished in 2014 was submitted as evidence in a trial against developer Jerry Wolkoff in federal district court in Brooklyn. PHOTO: 5POINTZ By Thomas MacMillan Nov. 27, 2017 2:36 p.m. ET 21 COMMENTS The outcome of a federal civil lawsuit in Brooklyn concerning the destruction of former graffiti-art mecca 5Pointz could hold an important lesson for artists and landlords: Make your agreements in writing. Earlier his month, jurors issued an advisory ruling in favor of the plaintiffs—21 artists who sued real-estate developer Jerry Wolkoff after he whitewashed and demolished his warehouses in Long Island City, Queens. Until it came down in 2014, the complex, known as 5Pointz, had stood for more than a decade as an open-air museum of graffiti art by some of the medium’s most revered practitioners. The Brooklyn federal court judge presiding over the case will now decide whether the landlord is liable and the artists are entitled to damages. That decision is expected in December or January. The plaintiffs haven’t asked for a specific amount, but could win several million dollars in damages. But even before the case is resolved, legal observers are marking the jury ruling as a possible watershed moment in the interpretation of a seldom-used federal law called the Visual Artists Rights Act.

    Landmarks Preservation Commission June 21, 2011; Designation List 443 LP-2442 CITIES SERVICE BUILDING, FIRST FLOOR INTERIOR, consisting of the main lobby spaces and fixtures and components of these spaces, including but not limited to, wall and ceiling surfaces, floor surfaces, stairs leading to basement lobby and second floor, vestibules, shop fronts, information kiosk, entrance doors, revolving door enclosures, elevator doors, grilles, railings, lighting fixtures, and signs; 70 Pine Street (aka 66-76 Pine Street, 2-18 Cedar Street, 171-185 Pearl Street), Manhattan. Built 1930-32; Clinton & Russell, Holton & George, architects. Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 41, Lot 1 On May 10, 2011, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a hearing on the proposed designation of the Cities Service Building, First Floor Interior (Item No. 2). The hearing was duly advertised according to provisions of law. Six people spoke in favor of designation, including representatives of the owners, Manhattan Community Board 1, the Historic Districts Council, and the New York Landmarks Conservancy. Summary The first floor of the 66-story Cities Service Building contains one the most impressive office building lobbies in New York City. Designed by Clinton & Russell, Holton & George in 1930-32, it is a superb example of the Art Deco style, with stunning marble walls and floors, molded plaster ceilings and cast aluminum details that express the original owner’s role in the production and delivery of energy. The lobby has four entrances, divided equally between Pine and Cedar Streets. To compensate for a deeply sloping site, the east portals open to spacious vestibules that incorporate wide staircases that rise to the first floor and descend to the basement lobby.
