Developer Edward J. Minskoff Equities Inc. was selected by the city to build a tower on a 90,565-square-foot lot bound by Greenwich, Murray, and Warren Streets, on the urban-renewal site known as "Site 5B" (in Tribeca). Lauded by Mayor Michael Bloomberg for its mixed uses, the Skidmore Owings and Merrill-designed building will fill out close to one million square feet and provide equal parts market-rate housing and low- and middle-income units.
The 35-story tower will bring hundreds of residential units, two levels of below-grade public parking, and major retail businesses around its base -- including a Whole Foods Market and Barnes and Noble bookstore.
