  1. “Hitmaking Duo Is Bringing an Oyster Bar to Canal Street in Tribeca”

    Canal Street Oysters, from the people behind East Pole, will focus on sustainably sourced seafood

    • “The Seaport might or might not be part of any HHC change of ownership. Chief Executive David Weinreb last week confirmed that the publicly traded company was exploring a possible sale, among other options, to maximize shareholder value. HHC hired Centerview Partners to review strategic options.

      “The step was triggered by major shareholder and HHC Chairman Bill Ackman, who complained that the share price lagged the value of company holdings.”
