    Applicants simplified the massing of proposed tower building and reduced its height 32 feet from previous proposal. On May 6, 2014, the Landmarks Preservation Commission approved proposed work at the campus of St. Luke in the Fields Episcopal Church, located on the western edge of the Greenwich Village Historic District.
