30 Park Place aka 99 Church••• “New permits have been filed for construction at 30 Park Place [née 99 Church], and if Silverstein’s words on the site from earlier this year are still valid, construction is about to begin. With plans officially approved, the 937-foot and 67-floor tower can finally begin rising; the site has sat as a vacant concrete pit since the 2008 financial crises derailed the original plans, which have only seen slight alterations in the past five years.” The reason for the caveat: Silverstein has been saying that for years. —YIMBY (via Curbed)
