The Landmarks Preservation Commission approved a controversial tower in Manhattan's South Street Seaport in a 6-2 vote on Tuesday, clearing the way for the Howard Hughes Corporation to move forward with its plans for 250 Water St.
"We appreciate the [commission's] thoughtful feedback and are gratified that the commissioners have deemed our 250 Water St. proposal appropriate for the Seaport Historic District," Saul Scherl, president of Howard Hughes' New York tristate region, said in a statement. "We worked hard to produce a design that is responsive to the commission's comments and preserves the project's crucial benefits: deeply affordable housing in one of the city's wealthiest neighborhoods and meaningful funding for the South Street Seaport Museum, the heart of the Historic District."
