••• “The possible sale of 41 River Terrace may be complicated by two factors: the building was financed under the City’s 421-a tax abatement program, which confers a form of rent stabilization on apartments there through 2019. And it was also developed with financial help from the State’s Housing Finance Agency, which requires that 20 percent of the building’s 340 apartments be set aside for low-income residents through the year 2020, while 80 percent can be leased to tenants with any income level. While Rockrose is free to sell its interest in Tribeca Pointe, any prospective purchaser is legally bound by these requirements.” —Broadsheet

••• “The publisher of the venerable magazines Nature and Scientific American is doing what several other media and creative companies have done in recent months. It is moving to lower Manhattan.
