  • A Study of Mixed Income Housing Projects in New York City
    A STUDY OF MIXED INCOME HOUSING PROJECTS IN NEW YORK CITY A Study of Mixed Income Housing Projects in New York City The Effects of Inclusionary Housing Program on Residents Living in Affordable Units and Neighbors’ Interaction Xin Tan 5/8/2015 Columbia University Thesis for Master Program of Urban Planning Adviser: Lance Freeman Reader: Brian Loughlin A STUDY OF MIXED INCOME HOUSING PROJECTS IN NEW YORK CITY Abstract Developing mixed income housing is becoming more widespread in U.S over recent years. However, the answer--whether or not mixed income development can achieve its policy goals--is still uncertain. There are two general goals behind mixed income housing policy: improving the living conditions of urban poor and promoting socioeconomic integration among people with different income. In this research, by conducting questionnaires to residents living in six selected Mixed Income Housing Projects in New York City, the question whether or not Mixed Income Housing Projects can achieve its policy goals will be explored. 1 A STUDY OF MIXED INCOME HOUSING PROJECTS IN NEW YORK CITY Table of Contents Introduction .................................................................................................................................... 3 Purpose Statement ...................................................................................................................... 4 Research Question ....................................................................................................................... 5 Importance and Implication

  • Manhattan New Development Report
    JUNE 2016 Manhattan New Development Report MANHATTAN NEW DEVELOPMENT REPORT June 2016 New Buildings by Neighborhood Condominium development has largely centered on Midtown over the past several years, but there will be a wave of new construction and conversions in the Financial District in the near future, with large buildings such as 50 West Street, One Seaport and 125 Greenwich Street contributing to the roughly 1,250 new apartments slated for the neighborhood.

In total, 92 condominium projects with roughly 8,000 new apartments are under construction or proposed. Total New Development Sales (in Billions) $14B $12B $10.3B New development sales $10B totaled $5.4 billion last year, $8.4B up significantly from the $4.1 $8B billion in sales recorded in 2014.

  • Letter to Commissioner Trottenberg -Final
    June 9, 2014 Honorable Polly Trottenberg, Commissioner NYC Department of Transportation 55 Water Street, 9th Floor New York, NY 10041 Dear Commissioner Trottenberg, In keeping with Mayor de Blasio's Vision Zero, the Committee for Pedestrian Safety on Riverside Boulevard and the Coalition for a Livable West Side urge you to immediately institute the following protections for pedestrians crossing Riverside Boulevard. 1. PEDESTRIAN PROTECTIONS A. Riverside Boulevard must be immediately designated a 20-mph zone. There is pedestrian traffic from four schools: The River School (62nd and 63rd on West End Avenue); Dwight Early Learning Center (66th and Riverside Blvd.); Bilingual Buds (68th and Riverside Blvd.); and Small Wonder (69th between Riverside Blvd. and Freedom Place). The River School takes care of infants to pre-K children from 7:30 AM until 7:00 PM. Teachers take the children to the playground on Riverside Boulevard twice a day when the weather permits, as do the pre-nursery schools: Bi-Lingual Buds, the Dwight Early Learning Center and Small Wonder. Currently teachers signal drivers with large STOP signs before even attempting to take children across the road. Dedicated crossings are needed to get the children to the playground safely. B. Yield Signs must be installed. For pedestrian safety, NYCDOT must add a flexible, reflective or illuminated pedestrian crossing YIELD SIGN at all intersections/crossings on Riverside Boulevard. Motorists who routinely disregard STOP signs, tend to obey YIELD SIGNS. These signs are approved in New York State and are commonly used. See photo at right. 1 C. An extra-large crossing, compliant with ADA rules, must be created at West 68th Street.

  • New York City Football Club
    42 | Harlem River Yards New York City Football Club NEW YORK CITY FOOTBALL CLUB (NYCFC) is a professional soccer team, based in New York City, and competing in Major League Soccer’s Eastern Conference. It was announced as the League’s 20th franchise on May 21, 2013 and is the first and only Major League Soccer Club located within the five boroughs of New York City. Majority owned by City Football Group, which is in turn majority owned by H.H. Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed, New York City FC plays its home games at Yankee Stadium. The iconic ballpark is also home to minority owner, the New York Yankees. In acquiring the franchise, City Football Group demonstrated to Major League Soccer the following key qualities • BELIEF IN US SOCCER - recognizing the unique, stand-alone investment opportunity in one of the most rapidly growing football markets in the world; • PASSION FOR THE CITY OF NEW YORK - building a soccer club in the heart of one of the world’s greatest cities which currently has no soccer team within any of the five boroughs; • STRONG CONFIDENCE IN MAJOR LEAGUE SOCCER as a well-run league that continues to grow and compete with many of the leading soccer leagues in Europe and around the world. In 2010, Manchester City FC, also owned by City Football Group, built a rooftop soccer pitch at PS72 (East Harlem’s Lexington Academy), and in 2013, New York City FC was officially launched on that same pitch. Since then, the first-of- its-kind, synthetic grass pitch has provided hundreds of young people a safe place to play soccer, and City has proudly served more than 30,000 young people to date across the five boroughs.

  • Central Park West Vs. Riverside Drive
    West Side Smackdown: Central Park West vs. Riverside Drive By Adam Bonislawski | December 3rd, 2015 The San Remo looms over The Lake in Central Park. There are certain happy decisions in life for which there is no wrong answer. Chocolate or vanilla. Ocean or bay. Beatles or Stones. Tango or Cash. Sure, people will have their preferences, and arguments can be made, but at the end of the day, regardless of which you choose, you’ll probably be pretty satisfied. This observation is by way of introducing the following conundrum: Which is the more desirable of the Upper West Side’s two grand scenic thoroughfares—Central Park West or Riverside Drive? A quick price check would suggest there’s no contest. Apartments on CPW command a hefty premium compared to those on Riverside. “So I think we would have to say that the market perceives [CPW] as more desirable because it sells for more money,” said Corcoran Sunshine’s Beth Fisher. But does more expensive necessarily mean better? (By that logic, the Brooklyn Nets should be a 60-win team.) And besides, isn’t there something a little bit vulgar in reducing everything to a simple matter of dollars and cents? What about the more subtle questions of personal taste? Quiet and seclusion versus hustle and bustle? Hudson River views versus a Central Park vista? Grant’s Tomb or Strawberry Fields? “It’s a great problem to have,” said Stribling broker Jeffrey Stockwell, who has lived and sold in both areas. Currently, he represents 360 Central Park West, a 126-unit condo conversion of a 1929 Rosario Candela building.
