2) 111 Fulton Street, BSA application special permit for physical culture establishment – 
Resolution 111 Fulton is a condo called District. Maybe it’s opening its gym/pool up to the public? “I’m fairly certain that the physical culture application for 111 Fulton will be for an expansion of Wall Street Crossfit (on New Street).” —a comment from Luis Vazquez.

Wait, here it is: Supposed to open mid-2015. And it’s called the Jade (as Luis Vazquez points out in the comments).
