Rosenthal Testifies Against Extell’s Proposal

Assembly Member Linda Rosenthal (D-Upper West Side, Hell’s Kitchen) testified before the New York City Board of Standards and Appeals against a new building proposal from Extell Development.

Extell’s proposal would construct a 775-foot tower at 36 West 66th St, which would include 161 feet of mechanical infrastructure. This, said Rosenthal, is a clear exploitation of the mechanical voids loophole that she’s been trying to close.

“In addition to the obvious developer overreach, this building represents the kind of short-sighted urban planning that New York City must abandon,” said Rosenthal. “The zoning rules are in place not just to protect our access to light and air, two precious commodities in our concrete jungle, but also to ensure that all new development is contextual.”
