Kudos to Rachel and Ryan for creating and nurturing this successful small business. DWMR is loved by countless young ballerinas and their families. Thank you for highlighting their hard work and commitment to the community. — Cindi Kaminski on TCQ&A: Rachel Cantor & Ryan Swearingen

What a lovely profile of this couple and the wonderful studio they’ve created. It’s truly a magical place. Tribeca is fortunate to have them. 💜 — Angela Cantor on TCQ&A: Rachel Cantor & Ryan Swearingen

"“The name “Tribeca” was coined in the early 1970s and originally applied to the narrower area bounded by Broadway and Canal, Lispenard, and Church Streets, which appears to be a triangle on city planning maps.”” More details on that: In the early 1970s, TrBeCa pioneers tried to get the city to change the zoning to legalize residential, similar to what the artists in SoHo to the north had done. One group of artists who lived on Lispenard Street between Broadway and Church called their group the Triangle Below Canal Association, and submitted testimony to the Department of City Planning under that name. A reporter from the New York Times got a hold of their filing and assumed that the name for the block association comprised the entire neighborhood and reported it as such. With “the newspaper of record" declaring it as such, the name caught on and has remained — S.S. on 312-322 Canal will be redeveloped as residential

This city, which used to be a city of neighborhoods, will soon turn into a city of just oversized apartment buildings and bike lanes. — Sherri Rosen on Plans moving forward for northeast corner of Canal and Broadway

This city, which lost its neighborhood and community feel decades ago, will be nothing but oversized apartment buildings and bike lanes. I'm a native New Yorker and I'm disgusted. — Sherri Rosen on Plans moving forward for northeast corner of Canal and Broadway

I didn't call you MAGA. I said that blue-state NIMBYism like yours furthers the MAGA agenda. How? By driving up the cost of housing, which supercharges population shifts from blue states to red. Have you not seen even one of the many stories pointing out that the next 10-year congressional reapportionment will shift so many electoral votes that a 2032 Dem candidate winning Harris's states plus MI, WI and PA will lose? Here's one: https://www.nytimes.com/2026/03/31/opinion/democrats-census-2028-2032.html. I'll say again, a bit differently: Blue-state NIMBY's may not be MAGA, but MAGA loves them. — Komanoff on Plans moving forward for northeast corner of Canal and Broadway

thanks for this terrific info! — Mdeline Lanciani on 54 Laight Street in the Tribeca North Historic District is for sale

I hope this doesn't get built. Commenter GB said it best; Terrible for the neighborhood. Too tall, ugly does not add anything to Tribeca just more congestion and people. It will block and disturb the architecture of Tribeca. — jay on Plans for new tower at Independence Plaza have begun

Ironic that anyone would say those areas are not "real" Tribeca, since the original "Triangle" of Tri-beca is right there. Per Wikipedia: "The name "Tribeca" was coined in the early 1970s and originally applied to the narrower area bounded by Broadway and Canal, Lispenard, and Church Streets, which appears to be a triangle on city planning maps." Beyond that historical note, however, no one should assume their block or street is safe from this chaos. It's spreading like wildfire through the neighborhood, through Soho, Chinatown, and other parts of the city. — Marcus on 312-322 Canal will be redeveloped as residential

Oh no! I hope he sticks around NYC. (to say nothing of the fact that we have reservations for the 22nd I hope he sticks around for) — emily on Ronny Emborg will leave Atera on Worth Street this month

Why do you think that since the SNX passed in December 2021, there have been precisely ZERO new housing units delivered to date? — James Bogardus on Plans moving forward for northeast corner of Canal and Broadway

It won’t go away unless people spend the time protesting and writing to elected officials, it’s been six years after all. Calling 911 is a joke. Daily show raids is a waste of tax money. Spain took care of the Ceuta crisis in one week and look at us… Real estate ads never show real pictures of the neighborhood and buyers nowadays are often from out of town or out of the country. Part of the problems is residents from west of Church don’t feel it’s part of ‘Tribeca’ therefore has no impact on their real estate value. It’s a good idea to start referring to the counterfeit bazaar as a Tribecan problem. — R. on 312-322 Canal will be redeveloped as residential

Imagine the pedestrian congestion on the narrow 12’ sidewalk and the vehicular mess on perennially congested Canal that will persist for years when the builder brings in a gargantuan crane reaching over 200 feet to erect this luxury tower!! And where will all the building materials be stored? On our narrow public sidewalks and curb lanes! If you think that strip of Canal is bad now, you ain’t seen nothing yet. But the gentrification apologists and the "Build, Build, Build" crew just don’t care about that. — S.S. on Plans moving forward for northeast corner of Canal and Broadway

Since the SNX passed in December of 2021, there have been precisely ZERO new housing units delivered to date. This project is a total win for the neighborhood. Period. The fact that they hired a real architect to thoughtfully design it is the cherry on top. — JT on Plans moving forward for northeast corner of Canal and Broadway

Couldn’t agree with you more regarding this unprovoked vicious personal attack on your character. To paraphrase Mark Twain, “Invective is the last refuge of a scoundrel.” Increased tolls so far have done little to ease the congestion on Canal Street. Nor will a hike of $3. However, this project will bring in well over a hundred units of luxury condos, increasing gentrification pressures on the nearby Chinatown population, as well as blighting the low-rise SoHo Historic District of which it will be a part. But those who shill for billionaire real-estate developers like UAL, care little about that, as long as their dystopian vision of NYC as Dubai or Hong Kong is met. — S.S. on Plans moving forward for northeast corner of Canal and Broadway

PS - if the powers that be really cared to improve transportation then there should be a crosstown bus on Canal Street — ala on Plans moving forward for northeast corner of Canal and Broadway

@Ala 100% correct in your response. Also, who is going to spend thousands of dollars to rent an apartment that has the Canal St. counterfeit bazaar in front of their building and surrounding streets? — K on Plans moving forward for northeast corner of Canal and Broadway

The majority of the units will be “luxury” thus generating e-commerce, Uber vehicle traffic along with routine building service traffic. As for the affordable hopefully they are permanently “affordable”, It is incredible and disturbing at minimum that as we are total strangers, you’d dub my comments as MAGA. Truly speechless at this wrong and vicious statement. — ala on Plans moving forward for northeast corner of Canal and Broadway

Northeast corner — Tribeca Citizen on Plans moving forward for northeast corner of Canal and Broadway

Stop fretting. By the time 277 Canal is finished, the $9 congestion toll will have reached $12 (2028), en route to $15 (2031), reinforcing the drop in traffic thus far. The project is exactly what NY -- and our climate -- need: new homes built at or near transit lines. Indeed, did you not see that the deal includes rebuilding the subway entrance -- with an elevator, no less? But sure, go ahead. Keep restricting new housing, and keep driving up rents so that NY City and State lose even more congressional representation and political power. MAGA loves you. — Komanoff on Plans moving forward for northeast corner of Canal and Broadway

Despite justified concerns about congestion and traffic on Canal Street, NYC continues to enable development that will increase traffic and congestion. — ala on Plans moving forward for northeast corner of Canal and Broadway

Agree with you but I think they are making a long term bet it won’t maintain its current state of chaos forever — Cw on 312-322 Canal will be redeveloped as residential

Isn’t that the northwest corner of canal and broadway? Or am I misunderstanding? — Cw on Plans moving forward for northeast corner of Canal and Broadway

What a revolting response. You can wallow in your soulless existence of numbers and algorithms without bullying tenants who have a legal right to the lease they agreed to, and which you agreed to take on. Abide by the law and leave these people alone. — Jim on Eulalie owners forced to sue their landlord
