Seaport mall likely to be razed

Pier 17, the three-story mall at the South Street Seaport, will likely be razed to make way for a new mixed-use development. The property’s leaseholder, General Growth Properties, wants to construct a mix of residential, retail and open-space on the site. A source familiar with the developer’s plans says General Growth wants to construct a tall building on the land. more [AMNY]
