Dunno, maybe because it's so close to the terminal, or just in general on the waterfront. The towers just to the north (Riverside Center) got approved, so although I expect a rocky approval process for this one, I don't see why it wouldn't get through. And it's good that they're talking to the CPC early on.

If mayor-for-life Bloomberg decides to stay on for a fourth term, Burden would likely stay on. Overall, she's done a good job with the Planning Commission.
