LANDMARK WEST! 45 West 67th Street New York NY 10023 www.landmarkwest.org

With development rights from three townhouses, and the former Congregation Habonim directly on their site, and joined by transferred development rights from the Jewish Guild for the Blind and the First Battery Armory (ESPN), developers Extell/Meglith have the potential to construct an 84-story tower on West 66th Street if they exercise both incusionary housing and plaza bonuses. Such development could cast shadows beyond 72nd Street in Central Park.

CENTRAL dARK:

Potential development on W. 66th St. between Central Park West and Columbus Ave.

(partial view, up to 77th St.)

A 2007 study, commissioned by LANDMARK WEST! asked Weisz + Yoes Architecture to examine the development po-tential directly adjacent to Central Park. Their findings identified ten potential sites where towers may rise. This frame-work was intended to aid the community, developers, architects, and New York City agencies in their future decisions with respect to development within our historic district. These worst case scenario findings pale in comparison to the actual scale of current planned development in the blocks just south of the park-- and potentially creeping north, up the east and west sides.
