    In exchange for bulk waivers for 16th Street development Tishman Realty will restore and maintain the Century Association Building. At its meeting on September 12, 2017, the Landmarks Preservation Commission revisited an application by Tishman Realty to create a restoration and maintenance plan for the individually landmarked Century Association Building as part of a 74-711 special permit application to City Planning. The City Planning application entails the redevelopment of an adjoining lot at 110 East 16th Street, replacing an 84-foot-high 1960s garage with a new 283-foot-tall mixed use building. The building, designed by Morris Adjmi, will host residential, retail, and garage uses requiring bulk waivers. In a 74-711 application, Landmarks must approve the restoration and maintenance work, and submit a finding that the new development would relate harmoniously to the landmark. (read more…)
