They won't stop this building, especially now that City of Yes has been approved. But what they really want to do is forbid future towers from going up in the area.
Quote:
The group’s primary concern is to fight the tower, but their more long-term issue is to rezone the area of Tribeca that allows for towers of any height — shown below in purple on the zoning map. That area is zoned as C6-4, which the city describes as areas “typically mapped within the city’s major business districts,” and with a floor area ratio among the highest in the city: 10.0 or 15.0. There are no height limits in these zones.
