••• Real estate developer Ziel Feldman of HFZ Capital had this to say about 11 Beach (where the Art Institute is now): “That’s another example of a period building. That’s more industrial. Cast iron. The building will be entirely vacant by the end of the year and our current plans will be to convert to large, high-end condominiums. Tribeca, particularly, has a lack of supply of larger units. So now we’re in the planning stages, and we’re in the process of hiring some of the best architects around.” —New York Times
