The Post takes a long look today at the state of arrested development in Tribeca and Soho. ("If you were wondering whatever happened to downtown Manhattan, you're not alone. We've been wondering, too." Zing!) And? Tribeca and Soho new developments are now trying the full range of expected recession coping strategies, from denial to choppage. At 56 Leonard, where nothing's happening right now, developer Izak Senbahar still says construction on the "future landmark" will resume within the next year. Nearby 34 Leonard looks done, but it's floating in foreclosure purgatory. So are there any successses? Developers have had better luck at The Fairchild, following price cuts, and at Tribeca Lofts, where apartments without finishes were already a relatively cheap $900/square foot when sales began. The Post has put all the building status updates in handy-dandy chart form, which saves us the trouble.
