Every High Line Phase II update must mention a corresponding new condo building right near the spot being discussed, and in this case, that condo building is +Art. [CurbedWire Inbox]
COLUMBIA STREET WATERFRONT DISTRICT?Here's a bit of good timing: New Warren Street building Columbia Commons scored some serious ink the Post today, and reps just announced that construction is finito.

GREENPOINT?Why some people enjoy taking to Newtown Creek for some water-based recreation, we just don't know. So icky! But take that right away, and people will get worked up. The city has cracked down on kayaking/boating in recent months, and the pols are in a tizzy. Assemblyman Joe Lentol and Councilman Steve Levin fired off letters to Mayor Bloomberg, the Parks Department and the Department of Environmental Protection slamming the ban. Money quote: "By having members of the community out on the waterways recreationally, we have a de facto team of watchdogs, able to spot problems, such as illegal dumping." Ah, that Newtown Creek!
