Among buildings that were inspected, several tested positive for biological growth within their water tanks, or the presence of insects or floating debris.” —Broadsheet

••• Regarding the Howard Hughes Corporation’s purchase of the parking lot at 250 Water: “There is speculation that Howard Hughes might attempt to build a much bigger project on the site by transferring hundreds of thousands of square feet of air rights from its Pier 17 and Tin Building properties, and possibly the New Market Building, as well. But none of those parcels, in the language of the Department of City Planning’s zoning text, are ‘granting’ sites, meaning that the developer cannot now transfer development rights from them. In addition, 250 Water Street is not a ‘receiving’ site. For that to change, the city would have to amend the zoning map […]. Such an action would require a rigorous public review process and sign-off by the City Council.” —Tribeca Trib
