(WSJ. magazine says Brookfield Place is in FiDi, which is wrong enough, but then it calls it “the new high-end retail destination that is connected by skyway to One World Trade Center.”)

••• The New York Times Real Estate section looks at Hudson Square, which may have “several thousand units” in its future. That’s your cue for a comment about the need for more schools….

I have no news about future plans.” —from a letter to Downtown Post NYC

••• “The woman accused of stalking and blackmailing Yankees general manager Brian Cashman was convicted of scoring a subsidized luxury apartment in Tribeca [88 Leonard] by falsely claiming her daughter lived with her. Louise Meanwell, 39, was found guilty on all counts—nine in total—including second-degree grand larceny, falsifying business records and offering a false instrument for filing.” —Daily News
