Just to update threads involving the “Two Bridges” masterplan, which is adjacent to 1 Manhattan Square.
HUGE NEWS for Two Bridges development: Finally, 1 Manhattan Square will share the skyline with two to three new skyscrapers, this is a copy and paste from another post I made.
"A two-tower, 73-story apartment project in lower Manhattan’s Two Bridges neighborhood is finally moving ahead after years of opposition from local residents and politicians… The South Street project will feature 1,313 residential units across towers connected at the base by a 14,500-square-foot community facility. It will total 1.3 million square feet, according to the plans. Gary Handel of Handel Architects is the architect of record.
The three new buildings will add about 3,000 units to the largely low- and middle-income neighborhood. The developers have agreed to finance a host of neighborhood improvements and to earmark a quarter of the units as affordable."
