The project however can’t move forward right now until the developers are able to alter their plans according to the requirements of the city’s Department of Buildings, which had problems with a planned outdoor space for the tower.
JD Carlisle and the Fosun Group will have to alter plans for their tower at 126 Madison Avenue after a DOB inspector found that an outdoor space on the second floor of the building was in violation of the city’s laws.
In this battle of the rich vs. rich, residents at Sky House have hired planner George Janes and law firm, Marcus Rosenberg & Diamond to represent their interests. Janes was also the man who noted that the developer DDG was flouting zoning regulations
The five units in the 45-story building will come in one- and two-bedroom configurations, with one-bedrooms asking from $7,200 and two bedrooms asking from $14,900.
