••• “Howard Hughes Corporation is pushing ahead with its plan to build a soaring, luxury high-rise in the South Street Seaport, but has shaved about 100 feet from its height, according to people familiar with the company’s revised proposal.” From 600 feet (50 stories) to 494 feet (42 stories). “The revised plan includes a middle school that would take up several floors of the tower, slated to include about 150 condo units, according to members of the working group. The plan will also offer 60 to 70 units of affordable housing, but those would be built outside of the tower, in historic buildings on nearby Schermerhorn Row, which Howard Hughes would overhaul.” All renderings above are courtesy SHoP Arhcitects. —DNAinfo

It also calls for a new building at the corner of John and South streets, which would be four stories tall on South and five stories tall on John.” —Curbed

••• “Tomorrow, [Century 21] will unveil C21 Edition, a three-level glass-and-concrete annex filled with off-price luxury goods. The 3,100-square-foot space—which has its own entrance at 21 Dey Street, but can also be accessed through the main Century 21 building—will eventually host designer collaborations, private sales, and events (there’s a roof deck that overlooks the World Trade Center). There’s also talk of opening the annex up to sample sales.” —Racked

••• “Few people in Battery Park City knew Gerry Esposito’s last name, but the kindly Park Enforcement Patrol officer who died a month ago not only knew the names of many people in the neighborhood, he knew their children’s names and their dog’s names. He inquired after people’s health and work, passions and plans. He always smiled, waved, stopped to chat.” —Broadsheet
