MePa Mini-Tower Needs a Trim



Friday, May 15, 2009

The sleek, glassy 12-story office building that developers the Romanoff brothers want to build across the street from the Standard hotel in the Meatpacking District has hit a roadblock—a roadblock named Amanda Burden.

The City Planning Commission boss has directly asked the Board of Standards and Appeals to deny the zoning variances sought at 437 West 13th Street, and she says the building should not be allowed to cantilever over the High Line as planned. The A-Bomb gets what the A-Bomb wants. Better shrink that sucker, bros.
