NEW YORK CITY—Community members and local government representatives came in full force to the Board of Standards and Appeals hearing to oppose the proposed 51-story, $700 million condominium development, a joint venture of SJP Properties and Mitsui Fudosan America.
Construction of the 668-foot condo skyscraper is underway at 200 Amsterdam and 69th Street but had been stalled, due to the Committee for Environmentally Sound Development's challenging the project.
Opponents of the mega-tower high-rise say not only will the quality of life of people in the neighborhood be harmed by the out-of-context, out-of-scale development but the integrity of the city's zoning process is at stake. They want the board to revoke the permit and to force the developer to submit new plans consistent with the Zoning Resolution.
