••• “The Landmarks Commission unanimously approved the plan to redevelop the Tin Building in the South Street Seaport area into a seafood-themed market to be helmed by celebrity chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten […] The Howard Hughes Corporation, which is developing the project, plans to dismantle, relocate, and reconstruct the landmarked building, which once complete will allow it to function like a fish market, just like the way it has in decades past, albeit a fancier one. The reconstructed building will be located about 18 feet south east of its current location. The move is being carried for out for several reasons, according to the developer. First, it will allow them to make the building more flood resilient. Second it will be moved slightly away from the FDR Drive. This will no longer obstruct the view of the building, and the increased plaza space in front will make it more appealing to customers.” —Curbed
