The tower’s current design will connect directly to the rear of the historic Dime Savings Bank building. This would mean demolishing a portion of the landmarked bank. The interior design also call for removing existing teller counters in the landmarked interior of the building.

This could be an issue with landmarks. However, a Community Board 2 subcommittee meeting this week was supportive of the design and unanimously approved it.

This is very similar to what happened with Steinway (111 W. 57th). I expect approval without much complication.
