Related intends to build a new 12-story building on the 26,704-square-foot plot, according to Department of Buildings documents cited by the Tribeca Citizen. The property will also include retail, with a so-called community facility and leasing office on the ground floor.

No renderings of the building-to-be have surfaced as of yet, and Architect Ismael Leyva, according to the DOB website, has been tapped to design the new structure. [Tribeca Citizen]Julie Strickland
