The City Council approved developer Sheldon Solow's stripped down housing/office/retail plan for the 10 acres of land formerly owned by Con Edison just south of the United Nations. As previously agreed between Solow and two City Council subcommittees, the tallest tower of the seven to come will rise 595 feet, 90 feet higher than the UN. The towers will house 3,000 apartments and plenty of office space and retail, with a new public park that will probably not look like this but it's fun to dream. [NYP; previously]
