An interesting twist on the fate of the former St. Ann's Church site on 12th St, owned by Hudson Companies, and scheduled for some sort of ungodly tower any day now:
I work closely with housing staff at The New School and I've been told that there is a bidding war right now between New School and NYU for the lot of land in order to build a 1,000 bed residence hall. (No idea how many stories that is, but by comparrison, the New School residence hall directly accross the street from that is a 220 bed hall.)Let us all now pray for the corner of 12th St. and 4th Ave.
