Some real estate bigwigs are making contributions to help fund an $8 million expansion of the Lower East Side's Tenement Museum into a neighboring building at 103 Orchard Street. Developers like Taconic Investment Partners, L+M Development Partners, and BFC Partners donated $450,000 of the $700,000 raised at the museum's fundraiser in June. The museum currently occupies the bottom two floors of 103 Orchard and plans to renovate an additional three. [WSJ, via TRD; previously]
