Two Related projects enter public review

The Department of City Planning introduced
a long list of projects into the seven-month public approval process,
including the Related Companies’ West Side rail yard and Bronx’s
Kingsbridge Armory projects.
Projects
that were left off the list included Extell Development’s proposed
8.2-acre
apartment building on Riverside South and Community Preservation
Corp.’s
plan to build 2,400 apartments in Williamsburg
on the former Domino Sugar Factory site. While Related nabbed two spots
on the list, it does not guarantee development; many community board
members are fighting the Kingsbridge project. For the West
Side
rail yard site, there are calls from the community for more affordable
housing
on the site.
