Planning Commission Approves UN development
January 29, 2008
The city Planning Commission yesterday approved a modified plan for a development that would sprout up just south of the United Nations, and tower over the international landmark.
The decision set up a possible battle in the City Council over the project, which calls for building seven slender towers at the 8.7-acre site of a former Con Ed power plant.
Even with the changes, the development would still stand taller than the 505-foot UN Secretariat.
“I continue to have serious concerns about the size and scale of this plan,” said Councilman Dan Garodnick, who represents the areaSource: AP
