In addition, the proposal will go before Community Board 7's Preservation Committee on Thursday, November 13 at 6:30pm.
For the past month, the developer has been constructing a mock-up (photo enclosed) of a structure on the existing church. The photo was taken from 50 West 97th Street. Other Central Park West buildings and the iconic Central Park West skyline have been threatened before. The developer has filed plans for a residential conversion of the church (see the New York Times article, "A Difficult Passage From Church to Condominium," from Sept. 26, 2014 and an article in The Real Deal from Aug. 8, 2014), potentially affecting the CPW skyline. The applicant will present their plans to the LPC on Tuesday, November 18. LANDMARK WEST! will be watching this carefully, and when (not if) the time comes to evaluate a proposal for further building on the landmark site, we’ll be ready. Please contact your neighbors and elected officials about this proposal. If you have any questions, please call us.
