Seller Alvaro Arranz bought the land, which currently houses a warehouse and parking garage, for $57 million in 2007, Crain’s said, and had previously hired architect Morris Adjmi to design two residential buildings for the site. Arranz’s plans had already been approved by the city’s Landmarks Preservation Commission.

It was not immediately clear why the residential project had not gone ahead previously. [Crain’s]
