A history of PPP in Lower Manhattan New York City Planning Director/Planning Commission Chairman, and PPPC-Gold Council Member Carl Weisbrod will set the stage for our council day by providing an overview of the re-development of Lower Manhattan. Carl’s service in government extends back to the Lindsay administration. As president of New York State’s 42nd Street Development Project under Mayor Koch, Carl led the effort to revitalize Times Square, transforming it into a global hub for tourism and entertainment. Under Mayor Dinkins, he was the Founding President of the New York City Economic Development Corporation, where he negotiated the United States Tennis Association’s 99-year lease in Flushing Meadows-Corona Park—regarded as one of the most beneficial municipal sports deals in the nation—as well as the transaction that brought Harlem its first major supermarket, the Pathmark on 125th Street. Mayor Bloomberg appointed him as a Director of the Trust for Governors Island and the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation, where he helped lead the post-9/11 recovery of downtown neighborhoods. That tenure overlapped with his 10 years as the founding president of the Alliance for Downtown New York, the largest business improvement district in the nation, setting in motion the evolution of the financial district from an area dominated by daytime office workers into a thriving 24-7 neighborhood. Carl Weisbrod (c)(fm) Director, New York City Department of Planning Chairman, New York City Planning Commission New York, NY 9:00 – 10:00 The Development of Pacific Park (aka Atlantic Yards) Pacific Park (formerly Atlantic Yards), a public private partnership between Forest City Ratner and the Empire State Development Corporation, is the redevelopment of 22 acres in downtown that will include approximately 6 million square feet of residential space (6,430 units of affordable and market-rate housing), a state of the art sports and entertainment arena (Barclay’s Center), 247,000 square feet of retail use, approximately 336,000 square feet of office space and 8 acres of publicly accessible open space, and major transportation improvements.

The Fulton Street Transit Center is one of the major subway reconstruction projects in New York City. With a budgeted project value of $750 Million the New York City Transit Authority (TA) plans to refurbish the seven subway lines around Fulton Street [Figure 1]. Furthermore, the TA plans to build a new above ground Transit Terminal. On this project a joint venture between Parsons Brinckerhoff and Bovis Lendlease formed the consultant construction management team to support the TA with the tasks of constructability review, bid packaging and site supervision. Figure 1: Subway Lines around Fulton Street in Lower Manhattan Early on in the project the CCM team decided to build a 3D/4D model of the project to visually support the necessary engineering decision making.

  • February 1, 2018 Hon. Meenakshi Srinivasan, Chair New York City
    February 1, 2018 Hon. Meenakshi Srinivasan, Chair New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission One Centre Street, 9th Floor New York, NY 10007 Re: 140 Broadway, Marine Midland Building; LPC-19-20734; Block 48 - Lot 1 Dear Chair Srinivasan, I write on behalf of The Cultura Landscape Foundation (TCLF) to express strong opposition to the proposed changes to the plaza at 140 Broadway and, by extension, the Marine Midland Building. Having reviewed details and renderings of the proposal now under review by the Landmarks Preservation Commission, it is clear that the redesign of the plaza would adversely affect the integrity of what has been designated a New York City Landmark. In fact, pending the outcome of your deliberations, TCLF has officially recognized the site as now being at risk. As you know, 140 Broadway was designed between 1960 and 1964 by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill under the direction of Gordon Bunshaft, the firm’s chief architect, and was one of the first projects to conform to the 1961 Zoning Resolution that incentivized developers to incorporate public plazas into their office-building plans. To complete the design for the 80-foot-wide plaza fronting Broadway on the site’s western flank, Bunshaft turned to celebrated artist Isamu Noguchi, with whom he would collaborate many times. The result was the iconic Red Cube, the 28-foot-tall vermillion sculpture that seems to defy gravity as it teeters on one edge, meant to be the solitary feature on the otherwise uninterrupted ground plane. While five low planters were placed along Cedar Street, to the south, the plaza facing Broadway was left free of any landscape embellishments or site furnishings, making it, in effect, an expansive travertine plinth for the minimalist sculpture.

  • Chapter 5. Historic Resources 5.1 Introduction
    CHAPTER 5. HISTORIC RESOURCES 5.1 INTRODUCTION 5.1.1 CONTEXT Lower Manhattan is home to many of New York City’s most important historic resources and some of its finest architecture. It is the oldest and one of the most culturally rich sections of the city. Thus numerous buildings, street fixtures and other structures have been identified as historically significant. Officially recognized resources include National Historic Landmarks, other individual properties and historic districts listed on the State and National Registers of Historic Places, properties eligible for such listing, New York City Landmarks and Historic Districts, and properties pending such designation. National Historic Landmarks (NHL) are nationally significant historic places designated by the Secretary of the Interior because they possess exceptional value or quality in illustrating or interpreting the heritage of the United States. All NHLs are included on the National Register, which is the nation’s official list of historic properties worthy of preservation. Historic resources include both standing structures and archaeological resources. Historically, Lower Manhattan’s skyline was developed with the most technologically advanced buildings of the time. As skyscraper technology allowed taller buildings to be built, many pioneering buildings were erected in Lower Manhattan, several of which were intended to be— and were—the tallest building in the world, such as the Woolworth Building. These modern skyscrapers were often constructed alongside older low buildings. By the mid 20th-century, the Lower Manhattan skyline was a mix of historic and modern, low and hi-rise structures, demonstrating the evolution of building technology, as well as New York City’s changing and growing streetscapes.
